I have no freakin idea. I am in shock to be honest. Two were accidents and one was IVF. Two are not past the "safe" point yet, and one has miscarried several times. However her doctor thinks this one will stick because she has made it further that ever before and the heartbeat is strong. She is 9 weeks, the other is 6 weeks and the IVF one is 12 1/2 weeks.

Good Heavens!! Where is the nail biting smiley????? 3 Weeks apart.... Whew!!​

Tell me about it!!!!! I really want the two to make it to 12 weeks before I can relax.

Another breast pump question:
I used the Medela Symphony (rental) with my last baby. I had only used a really cheap (less than $20) pump I got from walmart that only did one side at a time and that got old and hurt a lot. I got the rental later and loved the dual pumps but it was really painful at times too so I was wondering what is the difference in that pump and the Ameda Purely Yours. The price is considerably different but I am wondering if it is as strong, holds up as good as the symphony, and pumps pretty much at the same speed as symphony.
If you consider I will be paying $50 a month for the symphony, the Ameda Purely Yours would be paid for in 3 months if I just got that one but hate to put the money out on it if it is not as good or really close. I will be going back to work part time and plan on pumping at least 6 months but would love to try and go a year. The symphony was really big and hard to deal with at work when you consider I am a rural mail carrier.

Well, it will not hold up as well as the symphony. The Symphony is made to last years of constant use. But I can tell you that my Purely Yours went through me (nursed 28 months) and two of my sister in laws. (New pump kits of course). The Pump in Style (which is MEdela's purchase pump similar to the Symphony) or the Purley yours would be the way to go, especially if you are thinking of more children later. They will easily handle it and are much more portable.

As far as the pain, I wonder if you had the suction to high. Or another common problem would be the flanges are to small. That is another difference between the Medela and Ameda. The Medela has a way to buy larger flanges and change them out. IF your nipples are large enough to rub along the side of the flanges, you probable need a larger size.

I personally liked the Purely Yours better, but most of the women I worked with preferred the Pump in Style.

I did have a problem with the flanges being too small and went back to get bigger ones. After looking at the price of both pumps we have been talking about here, I am seriously considering buying the Purley yours due to the price but am wondering if any of my old personal parts( Medela tubes, flanges and all that stuff I forgot ) will interchange with the Purley yours of do I have to buy all new ones?

I refused the tests first time around and have not even been asked this time. Might be a difference in insurance but would still refuse if they asked. What is the point unless you are ok with killing your baby and I am not so I will just have to deal with whatever God gives me. That is what I told my doctor last time and he had to agree.
