When to buy breast pump?

Is it advisable to buy breast pump in advance (while you are still in second trimester)? I thought of using the year end promo sales to buy it. But one elder adviced against it saying it depends on how much milk I will be having. If too less then breast pump is not needed. How long will we be breastfeeding usually? Btw I'm not working currently. Will be getting back to work force after the baby is 5-6 months. So for SAHM is breast pump needed? Sorry if this sounds dumb. I'm a first trimer.

I’m a exclusively pumping mum! I bought my pump after giving birth. I borrowed pumps from cousin before giving birth and use that till I get my own pump. Initially wanted to direct latch, but decided to pump instead. In your case, it depends on how long u want to bf! Can’t really say for sure. Also depends on your baby if he/she can latch! You can also pump even with direct latching. I would suggest to borrow or get a cheap secondhand pump first in case, then u can decide on whether u want to direct latch or exclusively pumping. And how long u want to bf. Cause bf can be very tiring. Some mums stop at 6th month. Then getting an expensive pump will be a waste
