[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a FTM about to return to work from maternity leave, and I plan to pump at work. It isn’t uncommon for me to need to attend all-day meetings, and I’m wondering how to fit pumping in on those days. I’m not sure that I’ll be able to excuse myself from these meetings when I need to pump since I’m usually responsible for taking detailed notes, being “on call” to quickly find a document we need, etc. As a result, stepping away from the conference room for 20 minutes at a time would not fly.

We typically take a couple of 10 minute bathroom breaks and a lunch break during these full day meetings. I think I could probably pump during lunch, but I probably would not have enough time to pump during the bathroom breaks, which also may not align with my pumping schedule. Bathroom breaks are typically taken when we get to a good place in the workflow (a natural stopping place) and not on any set schedule.

I’m curious how others handle pumping during long days of meetings like this. For context, I’m a junior litigation associate at a big law firm, so the types of meetings I’m talking about are witness prep, depositions, witness testimony, etc. Sometimes they are at my office and sometimes not. The logistics seem even more complicated when I’m stuck in a conference room at another firm or at a regulator’s office all day. [/quote]
