When I was EPing I pumped and then showered.

I would pump and then shower (not an EP, but a working BFing mommy) otherwise my milk would let down in the shower from the hot water.  When I first went back to work I got up at 5 am to pump, then showered, got DS up dressed and fed, then got dressed and left house.

It is overwhelming at first.  Just take it a day at a time.  Good luck!

Neither.  I don't pump until I get to work.

For some strange reason I produce less if I pump after a shower.  I always pump before I shower a few hours before work, then I pump again at work......and then I pump again when I get home from work.

I have only been doing this 1 week but I wait to pump until I get to work. I just haven't found time to add pumping to my routine.

Neither.  I usually shower the night before and then I pump using a hands-free bra while I put my make-up on in the morning.

Not an EPer, but I pump on one side after I shower. Zack nurses on the other side when he wakes up.

I prefer to pump after showering because the hot water helps stimulate letdown; I get more by doing it that way. I just have to be careful not to touch them too much when I get out or milk sprays everywhere. I also have to shower and pump immediately to get the benefit.
