Okay! So fun!
I won't get into recommending different pumps because there are so many different styles at so many different price points but general thoughts:
1. Buying a pump after baby's here usually makes more sense than before, Why? Both making sure you need one, and seeing...
2. ...Whether you need a hospital-grade pump or not. If your issue is supply, then hospital-grade will actually help your milk come in whereas the other non-hospital grade pumps don't (or at least not as efficiently)
3. Consider getting a double-pump versus a single -- often saves lots of time in the long-run being able to do two sides at once
4. Measure your nipples! Please (and not your areolas!)
