    I was going to say exactly what Kate07 said. Find out where you can get one at short notice if you need it.

    When I had DS2 we went out on day 4 when my milk came in & bought the first one we could find, I needed it desperately to express a bit off the top do he could latch.
    When I was PG with DD2 I thought I'd be prepared, bought a pump, - & we ended up full time expressing, so I took it back & got a double electric pump.

    You never know what you're going to need, and you might not need one at all.
    The other option might be to buy one but make sure you can return it if your needs change.

    I bought one today!

    Was going to wait until bub was born to make sure my milk would actually come in properly, but there was only one place in town that sold the one i wanted (medela swing) and there was only one on the shelf so i grabbed it so i wouldnt be without if i need it straight up
