In the hospital, during labor.

When I went into labor, the nurses had asked me if I was formula or breast feeding. I replied that I was pumping. I thought this would cause an issue, or would cause them to ask me to try and nurse but it didn't. They seemed familiar with the topic and were not pushy at all.

I was told I would be provided with a pump, storage bottles, and labels. I had brought my own pump, but hospital policy required me to use there's, which was just a more fancy medela system. I was provided with small two ounce disposable storage bottles, a set of new tubes/horns which were mine to keep, and disposable nipples.

The labels were printed with my name and info, and gave me a place to fill in a date and time it was pumped.

Baby doesn't eat for 3.5 hours after birth so that gave me plenty of time to pump before hand.
