Not matched yet, when to pump?

Personally, I wouldn't start pumping until you had some idea of when the baby will be arriving. However, it is a personal decision. You certainly can start whenever you want to. I have read many stories of moms who began inducing lactation when their babies arrived, and they still got a good milk supply (1/2 - 3/4 of babies needs). Best of luck to you!
