It’s the end of week 5 of pumping, obviously not including my 1 month break. I want to keep posting a running tally of my total hours of pumping and my average hours per week.
I only averaged 3 hours of pumping this week due to back pain. I still hate back sleeping, but the cups pop off almost immediately if I try to sleep on my side. The pillows I put under my legs completely prevent lower back pain but I still get some upper back/shoulder blade pain when I try to sleep on my back. The shoulder blade pain got a lot worse this week. Maybe because I was reaching and pulling overhead a lot while taking holiday decorations up and down from the attic. I gave myself 3 full nights off from pumping to hopefully let my shoulders recover.
So far I’ve pumped a total of 240 hours.
