Breastfeeding

I want to at least try to breastfeed when my baby gets here. I mean, the benefits are amazing from what I've researched for both of us.

But... they say that most moms stop before they even leave the hospital. And it seems like every mom I've talked to who tried it or successfully breastfed for at least 6 months has all of these awful battle stories about it. On top of that, I know it'd be difficult with my work to pump. I looked into the possibility of breastfeeding when I'm at home and formula while I'm at work, but everyone I've suggested that to seems to think I'm delusional at thinking it would be feasible. And yet with all of the horrible things people say about breastfeeding, it's still expected that I breastfeed becuase it's best for baby. I feel like if I don't breastfeed or at least try to, I'm a bad mother for depriving my baby of the nutrients that it's body needs, but I also feel like it's just set up for me to fail if I try. I thought I'd try to breastfeed, but have bottles and formula at hand just in case, but I feel like then it'd be too easy for me to quit.

Is anyone else struggling with this? Does anyone have any positive stories from breastfeeding? Would it be horrible of me if I decided not to even try?
