3rd Trimester

shopping dilema

what to do, what to do...

i have a 15% off coupon from bru that is valid for one item only today... both of my showers are this weekend (sat & sun) and my breast pump is still sitting pretty on my registry...

should i go get it?  a breast pump is probably the last thing i would give at a shower myself...

 

Re: shopping dilema

  • I'd do it! Buy it off of your registry with the coupon!
  • hahaha!  love the siggy pic...

    I bought my stroller since it was so expensive and didn't expect to get it as a gift - but I would just save the receipt if I did get the stroller as a gift and return the stroller and get store credit

  • I was told by my midwife and the lady running our BF course that you should wait to get a breast pump untill after the baby is born. 
  • I know someone who got her breastpump at her WORK shower, but I can't see that this would be something to expect.  I'd go get it with your coupon, if I were you.
  • I'd buy and take off the registry.

  • Did someone already get you the car seat.....that would be my number one thing since you obviously can't leave the hospital without it. Second would be the stroller.

    Do you have a Baby Depot around you......the Medela pumps are 25% off there, so you could get your pump there and then use the 15% on something else.

    I agree.  As much as I hope to breast feed it may not be possible or may not work for us.  I was told to hold off until after giving birth to buy one.

  • I would say go get it! I haven't ever seen a breast pump given for a gift at a shower.

  • I would definitely use the coupon and buy it yourself!

  • Buy it...save the receipt...return if you get a duplicate.  But I do think a lot of the previous posts make valid points with the waiting till after LO is born just in case BF doesn't go over so well.
  • Make sure it is returnable if unopen.  I heard you should wait anyway because they have specialists at the hospital who help with picking the best kind for you.  If you get one and decide at the hospital you want another, you'd want to return the one.  If you can't, you're screwed.

  • id do it! dont forget youll also get the completion coupon soon after EDD.
