[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was working in my office one weekend and ran into a woman who had just had twins two weeks prior who was "working".  Parenthood can be scary, and not everyone has experience with kids.  So if you have a good nanny....[/quote]

Why do you assume she was faking it?  I went into labor over a week early, and my son was in NICU for a week so I went into the office one day to wrap up some important business.  I've also come into the office to use the hospital-grade breastpump some days.  Maybe she came in on a weekend because she had help at home and was able to come in for a few hours?[/quote]

There is something so odd to me about going into work to use the office breast pump.  I have never heard of an office providing such a thing for their employees.  Break rooms where you can pump mil in private - yes.  But the actual pump? Never heard of that.[/quote]

It's not uncommon, actually, for a company to provide breast pumps that stay in the pumping room and people take turns using.[/quote]
