I'm not sure when to buy maternity bras? Quite early on in my pregnancy I had to get new bra's but I just got non wired bra's. I've got just over 8 weeks to go and the bra's I have are too small but I don't want to spend on proper breastfeeding/maternity bra's if I'm going to need to buy again just before bub is born. When did you all buy yours?
Thanks  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It's really individual as to what your boobs do. For my daughter my breasts went up 2 sizes in the first trimester so I had to get new bras then. Then then did nothing until about the last month of pregnancy when they went up another size but I just stayed squeezed into the ones I had. When my milk came in I was HUGE so I was forced to buy a couple of bigger bras because I was so uncomfortable and didn't want to end up with mastitis because of tight bra, but after about 6-8 weeks they went back to the first trimester size again and I could fit into those ones I'd bought early on again. Keep an eye out for sales or it can get a bit expensive. Mind you I was BF'g still when I got pregnant again so I'm certainly getting my money's worth out of them! ------------- Adoring Mum to Talisin 8/9/11 and Kiara 18/01/10 |

i have been told to get fitted for nursing bras at about 36 weeks - as it will give the person fitting you a good idea on what your final size will be
although i am finding my bras are getting tighter, so got an expander which is making it more comfortable (it cost me $5 at farmers) - so basically makes the bottom band move out which also relaxes the sides, which is where i have grown not keen on buying new bras either but think i won't be far away from having to get something else ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I got mine at 36 weeks as that was when I needed new bras. Yes, I was naughty and wore unwire bras till then, only got them then as it was getting sore at the bottom. The fitting I had has been fine till now. Just got new ones and I ahd gone down a cup size. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My mum tried to get me to buy some when I was about 35 weeks pregnant but I managed to hold off until DD was about maybe 4-5 days old... I went from a Small B to a Small C in Pregnancy and in the space of a day or 2 from a Small C to a large DD... So very glad I held off! I didn't bother wearing a bra for the first 4-5 days after she was born and I hadn't really thought about it logistically feeding and what to wear etc during pregnancy... Umm I also didn't spend a HUGE amount on bras because as my milk settled my boobs got smaller and so by 3 months post baby I was a D cup, 6 months post = C cup and now am a B cup again but still feeding... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I would suggest holding off until bubs is born as when your milk comes in your boobs swell but soon settle. Perhaps during the larger time wear a feeding single and talk to one of the ladies at Bendon they are great! -------------  http://lilypie.com">

Yip during the first week while your milk settles in I would definatly recommend either feeding singlets or those cheap bras that you can use for sleeping in (they are really soft and only like $10 or something from the warehouse) That way they strech enough to fit your enlarged milk boobies lol. Then after a week or so go get fitting for some proper ones.
That doesn't really answer your actual post though sorry  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
