Should i get a breast pump before or after baby is born?

Hi mummies, FTM here seeking for your advice. I am still considering whether to get a breast pump now or should i wait until baby is out? Reason being, i’m not sure if i have/have enough supply for BM, will i end up giving FM to baby? If yes, that will be a waste of $ to get a pump if i don’t really get to use it. Do you mummies get a breast pump before or after baby is born? Also, any tips to look out for a suitable breast pump? Thank you!

Don't think you need it now. You can always manually pump using hand express. Look to friends or relatives to see if they have any they have any to lend you, all u need to buy are the parts in that case. For me, I got a second hand pump at cheap. If I really don't need, I'll just sell it away later at cheap also. at least I have when I need and if I don't, I won't waste a lot of money.
