[quote=Anonymous]Baby is due soon and I'm trying to figure out the logistics of pumping at work when I come back from maternity leave. The situation is that I work in a very small office on a very small team. I work in a cubicle and the only parts of the office that are remotely private are the ED's office and a supply closet. Legally I know they are required to provide somewhere private I can pump, and my gut is telling me it's going to be the supply closet. This feels...humiliating somehow. I've already talked to HR and they have agreed that my options are slim (no one working here has apparently had a baby in the last decade) but they would ensure I would have somewhere as private as possible for this. No elaboration beyond that. Obviously because of the small team and open concept design pumping at my desk is not going to happen. I feel like I would rather go and pump in my car in the parking garage (1/2 a mile away.....) but that feels like a cluster of a situation also. Have any others found themselves in a similar situation and if so, what did you do? Maybe I am being too sensitive and should just accept the fact that I'll be pumping in a closet but would love to hear if anyone has advice.[/quote]
