Note to self: Always check pump parts before pumping

I'm finishing up pumping and I pump hands free at my desk, so I really don't pay too close attention since I'm working.  So I take the breastsheilds & bottles off, set them down and the notice....

In the left breastsheild...

is a spider.

So I actually kinda screamed out loud and then went "OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD".  So my co-worker started pounding on my door to see if I'm ok.  I managed to squawk out "FINE! SPIDER! WHERE NO SPIDER SHOULD BE!" and heard him chuckle and walk back to his office.

So I removed the shield from the bottle, dumped it out onto a napkin and squished it but, sweet 7 lb 8 oz baby jesus.  SPIIIIIIIIIIIDER.

Spider was the size of, uhm.  Well, in my head it's the size of a dinner plate but squished on the napkin I have on my desk it's about the size of a ballpoint pen tip.

Still.  Spider.  On my bewb.  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH

The hairs on the back of my neck still haven't gone back down.

LMAO!  But only because I can imagine what a horrified look I would have had on my face had I been in your position.

I learned this lesson. With an earwig. In the vaulve of my pump. I found it when I was cleaning the parts after pumping at work. I had already combined the milk too and had to dump 7 oz down the drain. I was in tears. Now I check up under the membrane every time because I'm paranoid.

that is SO scary...because I got a spider bite a few years ago on my thigh and the inflamed, swollen pink area of the bite was about 8 in diameter! (you'd know by now if there was a bite so don't worry...also not all spiders leave such horrible bites.) 

Needless to say, I'd have FREAKED if I were you! I'm not sure BFing would have really been possible if I got a bite like this on my boob...or at least it would have been massively painful.

omg! yeah, I would have freaked, too!

Can I add to this PSA to say- make sure you check you have ALL your pump parts attached before pumping? I pumped once but forgot to put the bottle on, so I pumped all over my leg, lol
