Maternity/Nursing bra

Bec L · Aug 26th, 2008, 08:46 AM

I was measured early on for a maternity bra and have so far made the ones I got last throughout my pregnancy using bra extenders. Now thought they are just getting too uncomfortable and I really need to invest in some new ones.

Was measured at the weekend and am a totally different size now (was 34 DD, now 38C?!) but don't know whether to just buy myself nursing bras now which will hopefully see me through to when the baby arrives. I know it's a bit early to be measured for a nursing bra though. Do you boobs change a lot in size in the last couple of weeks? The 38C bra that i tried on fitted me on the tightest setting so there would still be room for back growth at least. Just don't want to have to splash out on 2 lots of new bras in the next couple of months if possible...What do you ladies think?

I was advised to get a few non wired bras in the beginning and then get measured at 37 -38 weeks because thats the most accurate time

I have been told not to get nursing bras fitted until 36-38 weeks as you will change when your milk starts to come in around this time
