| For those of you who have had babies before how many cup sizes did you go up once your milk came in? I am having a horrible panic that I wont be able to find any bras. |

I was a 10DD before pregnancy, went to about an E during pregnancy, then when my milk came in for a couple of days my breasts were so incredibly massive that there was no way they were going to squash into any bra so wore bf singlets, then after a week or so then went back to (squashing) into an e cup. but bf bras are soft cups so it wasn't uncomfortable.
They stayed that size til I stopped bf-ing, then they went to a C cup. Now I am pregnant again we are back up to E! |

I was a 10D but had to wear 12D or larger once my milk came in. I don't know what the exact measurement was as I just wore maternity singlets. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I was 12B before Dan, 14D when he was born, 16F when my milk came in and settled back to 14DD. After I stopped BF, I went to a 14C (took a year or so). ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Oh, and i recommend BF singlets for those first few days. The days my milk was coming in, I ended up getting some real crap cheapies from Farmers which did the job while everything was painful and then it settled down so I switchedback to my BF singlets. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I was a 12B before milk came in. Have no idea what they got to when the milk came in, but that was really shortlived anyway and they're back to a 12B again. I rate BF singlets - so comfy. Not a tremendous amount of support though, but for me being small busted it's not really an issue. ------------- <a href="http://lilypie.com/"><img src="http://lb2f.lilypie.com/1ytlp10.png" width="400" height="80" border="0" alt="Lilypie Second Birthday tickers" /></a> |

I was a 16D pre pg and a 16F when my milk came in and then settled back to a 16E... which I still am now, though they are getting a little on the tight side (I seem to be getting a monoboob).
Really need to be refitted actually but will try and hold another 5-6 weeks... -------------

Huge - I was a 34-36B cup (in UK sizes, which is a 10-12B here I think)beforehand. Afterwards I was about a 40 D(18D?). I was so excited about actually having breasts for the first time in my life!!
4 years later before getting pregnant again I was a 16C. I am now 28 weeks pregnant and in an 18D. thanks for the tip about the Bendon factory shop - I think there is one near me. In the UK we had a shop called Mothercare where you could buy absolutely everything you needed, bras, clothes, baby stuff all under one roof. Here I find it hard to work out where to go for stuff.

I went from 12C/D to 12GG. Gone back to 12C/D again - can't decide which is best, depends on the bra. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">
