First time pumping

Is first time pumping suppose to be painful ? Kind of taken aback and shock by the suction, even using the lowest mode. Is it normal to feel pain when pumping first few times? And youll get used to it ?

It's your first time so yes the discomfort is there. Maybe u may want to try to massage your breasts first before pumping. Wld be good to also warm them up by using warm compress to prep them and to allow milk to flow easier. After a few times u'll get used to it. And u may also want to check if your flange is of the right size, depends on ur nipple size. Esp if u're using Spectra, u can buy different flange.
