Anyone have experience renting a hospital grade breast pump? Did you feel it was worth it? Which one did you get? Pregnant with twins and hearing advice to go for it, given you need twice as much

Haven’t given birth yet but you should see if Deloitte provides hospital grade breast pumps to expectant mothers. EY does through Limerick so am thinking you may have the same.

Can doctors prescribe a years' prescription of these that I can refill every 30 or 60 days? Curious as to how it has worked for you.

My Obgyn is offering weekly classes that range from “childbirth” to “infant cpr” and mom/dad “meet and greets”. Outside of the cpr one which seems important, did anyone attend classes and find them useful? Or did not attend classes and wish they had? The recommended curriculum is about 20-30 hours in total over 2-3 months which is a time commitment. Thank you!

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
