Hi there, everyone.

I'm normally a size E, and since becoming pregnant (I'm six weeks now!) I've had real trouble finding a bra that fits. Most places just turn me away without so much as a helpful direction. Stupid Leia in Richmond were particularly mean.

Where do you get your bras from? And do you know anywhere that caters to the larger sizes? Are there any nice maternity bras out there?

Thanks in advance!!!

I was an F cup pre pregnancy and i use bravissimo, you can shop online or get them to send you a catalogue, they go up to a K or a J cup too!!

i found mothercare helped me!!!

not sure on what size they go up to but Im sure they will cater for yourself!! Even if they have to order your size in!!

remember your not advised underwired bras in your pregnancy either

happy bra shopping

I found Mothercare were great too - although I was a 38C when they measured me (I thought I was a 36DD before that!). It was a Mothercare superstore or whatever they're called thought - the smaller shops don't seem all that good for maternity underwear (from what I've seen).

Hope you find some nice underwear soon x

Thanks...if I can stop being sick for long enough I'm going to find my way to Bravissimo and Mothercare. Cheers for the advice....I was starting to think I'd need to design and make my own!

I went to mark n sparks to get mine, but dident try it on as though they hadent grown, got home and my boobs just bulgded out.
My hubby aint complaining, shame he aint allowed to touch them.

I think it's so funny how captivated men are by large breasts...my boyfriend keeps stopping mid-sentence to stare at them! I should probably find it insulting but I'm endlessly amused by it and considering how tubby and unsexy I've been feeling lately, it's nice to know he still finds me attractive....

I'll try figleaves too...I normally get my bras from there but because I've grown so much I was scared to order over the internet in case they don't fit. Think I'll invest in a tape measure too. The maternity bras I tried on yesterday in my size barely covered my nipples....the stupid woman in the shop tried to explain that that was how they are supposed to be...

Thanks for all your advice. If I find some fabulously sexy and gorgeous undies, I'll let you all know.

Hiya, I was a 34E and always wore Panache superbras as they are the only ones to give me a nice shape. Now I'm an F (and counting) and have rubbish bras as I don't want to spend loads on bras until I get maternity ones and who knows how big I'll be then?! I buy online from undercoverexperience. They have free delivery and usually the cheapest prices. Good luck!

just back from bra shopping...and utterly devastated to find I'm a 36GG and the only bras that fit are completely disgusting. I look like I've got a mono-breast....why does maternity underwear suck so badly?
