Hi this is my first time on these forums, I'm 36 weeks this thursday, and I was just wondering if anyone knew what size nursing bras to get??? Do I get the size I am now or would I be better off getting a larger cup size??

You'd be best to get fitted, as a someone trained to fit maternity bras can recommend the best size based on how big you will be when your milk comes in. I got mine fitted at 38 weeks, but they say 36 weeks is best (I was just slack). -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Hi, welcome to Oh Baby!
I would say your probably better to get nursing bras in the size you are now, but the best thing to do is to go into a specialist bra shop and get them to fit you - you will probably find out you are a different size to what you expect (I know I was!). You don't necessarly have to buy from there, but at least you'll know what size to get. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I went and bought mine from Farmers for $10, when I was 37-38 weeks. They are great...very comfy. I bought one size bigger but same cup size. the one I bought has several hook thingies and even tho I bought a size bigger (and I really need my original size), the bra fits me fine.
I also thought, hell even if it does not fit me ....its only $10.....But take all the above advice and look around. And shopping is sooo much fun!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi ya, I did the same as Roksana, got the $10 farmers bra! Bought them when i was about 34 weeks tho and got them too cup sizes bigger and they were just big enough when I was engorged. They are perfect now tho, and so so comfy! ------------- http://www.GlitterMaker.com/">
