    I have to pump in our breakroom. Not really the ideal place but it does lock.

    (A) and (C)

    Sometimes I use my office, sometimes I use another room that HR has designated for me -- an empty office on another floor.  I don't like using my own office because I feel a little strange to be pumping around all my co-workers, but it is such a PITA to go downstairs to do it 3X a day.

    In my own office, but it still doesn't stop people from trying to come in or knocking even when I have the blinds drawn and the door locked. So irritating.

    A.  My own office.  I lock the door, hook up the pumps and nest away!

    D.  My building has a gym and I pump in a shower stall.  It has a bench and is close enough to a plug near the sink.    My employer offered up an empty office for me, but it didn't have any coverings for the windows and I didn't want to be pumping so close to my coworkers anyway.

    I used to pump either in my classroom or in a closet. The closet was preferable b/c I taught 4th grade boys and I was too paranoid about them forgetting gym shoes, library books. . . And when I taught in a summer program I had my male college student TA walk in on me- lol- I kept my back turned on him and my sweater over everything- he didn't even realize what I was doing but I talked to him later b/c I was worried I had traumatized him:)

    When I was pumping, I did it in my locked office.  They building did have a lactation room, but I prefered to be in the comfort zone of my own office.

    A. I was using the lactation room in our nurse's office (I used to work in a cubicle), but then an office opened up so my boss moved me. She's a savior, the office is so much more convenient!

    I pump in a room designated for pumping/resting, that's also available to other employees.

    B- we have a mothers room which i use and it has a schedule which we sign up for. BUT when that room is busy then i use the disabled toilet or I walk to another building. I use to travel for work and would pump in the car or the rest room so having a room designated for pumping is a god send!

    We have a "Mother's Room" set aside for those who need to pump.

    B - There are 4 lactation rooms in my building (one on every other floor).  They are really nice, locked rooms with nice chair, sink, table...

    C - I pump in the office library. No lock, so I put a sign up on the door when I'm in there. Hardly anyone ever goes in there, anyway.
