Personally, I would steer clear of underwire bras as the reasoning behind it all makes sense. But I never opted for maternity bras either, I went with very supportive and comfy Sports bras! x

Underwire bra's can damage the milk ducts in your breasts which is why health professions say to wear a comfortable maternity or non-underwired bra's, sports top

I have large breasts (E when not pregnant!), and went bra shopping a few weeks ago. I decided, given how expensive good bras are, to just invest in a couple of nursing bras without underwire. They are really supportive and pretty comfortable--although sometimes the band can dig in a bit to my rib cage. Overall, though, I felt good about just going straight for nursing bras instead of maternity ones that I won't be able to use once the baby arrives and I turn into a milk bar.

Oh yeah, and the brand I bought was 'Anita', which is a European brand.

i got a regular non wired cross your heart type bra. think it was by playtex. or someone. Not maternity, justa grown up lady bra, as I call it!

Anyway it's the best thing I ever bought. about £20, but so so comfy! Really, it's like a slipper of the bra world. My underwired ones just dont fit, and if I can squeeze in they're uncomfy. Also I bounce around all over the sow with those on - even walking down my corridor at work is embarassing, and I'm only a C!

I only bought one so far - considering the price and I might grow again soon, but its worth it. I have to just wash and dry it quickly!!

Oh it's the best thing.
