Bras

Get a fitted normal bra, maybe a sports bra or something. Don't get a maternity bra until right near the end because, believe me, anything you buy now WON'T FIT by the time it comes to the end of the pregnancy

Yep, totally agree with Ana. Also found that as your tummy gets bigger, underwire is really uncomfortable so maybe if u can get away without wire, but one without. I have just bought a maternity bra and it is soooo comfy

Fire away with the questions as well - they are def not silly, should see some of mine! - everyone is great at answering them!!

I bought my maternity bras at 37 weeks, and Maya was born a week later. I found that even having them fitted so close to the birth, once my milk came in they were on the tight side until my supply settled.

If you can get away with it, those soft crop top things might be comfortable (my boobs are waaaay to big for that tho!), otherwise like everyone else has said go for a bra without wires.

Glad someone asked about bra's - i'm carrying a couple of bazooka's already I'm hoping they're not going to get too much bigger or there is a good chance they'll be larger than my baby belly!!! I'm going to go shopping this weekend for a bra or two - might go for a couple of the berlei's as you suggest Lizzle

yeah my friend has enormous boobs and says they are he only ones supportove enough. good enough for her, they were good enough for me

Thanks guys,

i went and got fitted for a bra (with no underwire) and boy it was great to be able to walk down stairs without wincing in pain.

The person who fitted me suggested i buy maternity bras at about 5mths but we will see how it goes, im just pleased to be in a bra that is comfortable finally.

Thanks for all your help

Hey I just thought I'd let you know that I found some maternity bras at Farmers that are only $10 that go up to at least DD cup. Was rather excited about this discovery as most bras that go up to that size are SO expensive. I have found it just as comfy and supportive as my $60 ugly beige lacy one These ones are just plain (white or black) t-shirt kind with no seams.

Yeah I got a couple of the More brand ones. I got fitted. Am normally a DD/E cup. I ended up getting some in those sizes (but with a bigger back size) that had a little bit of room left in the cup, but can still tighten up the back size. Does that make sense?

Yap Aimee makes sense.....when I went to farmers and asked what size they think I should get...they gave me a blank look...., and when I said okay if I buy and its the wrong size and I dont wear it can I return it? they said oh well, we have a two week return period....well that wont work!!!! So I never bought the bra's. I also saw another one (cant remember the brand)...it was a lace one but very comfy. $26.95 I think it was.

Yap Rebecca, cant wait to meet her now, my hubby keeps saying dont you think its about time she came out? You had all to your self for way too long.....awwww how cute!!

Roksana, if you can, go to a lingerie store. they have staff trained to fit and answer proper questions...and they are pretty helpful. it does cost a wee bit mnore, but you'll regret getting the wrong bra.
