Bras?

So, the boobs have started to grow.  I need to get new ones.  Ladies who have given birth or who are far along, how many sizes did you go through?  How many bras at each size is it worth getting?

Re: Bras?

  • It's hard to say, but I would suggest nursing bras now if you want to nurse. I love my nursing bras. My size changes depending on how much milk I have in there.

  • I would go get measured and just buy a couple in your new size. I had a lot of swelling early on, and my boobs went up a band size and a cup size, but they haven't gotten any bigger. Once my milk comes in, I'm sure I'll be sizing up some more, but i'll wait until then to buy more bras. Everyone is different, and everyones boobs grow (or don't) at different times during pregnancy.

  • Oh, I also had to make the switch from underwire to non-underwire bras, which I don't love, but they are so much more comfortable!

  • To go along with the OP question...

    I'm rather large chested, do nursing bras offer enough support? They look so not supportive to me and I can't stand it when the girls aren't supported...

  • Yes, I'm pretty big on top. I love my nursing bras. I buy the cheap (13$) ones at Walmart to sleep in. I wouldn't go out in those, but nice to sleep in.
    Better bras at motherhood offer great support.
    Oh, I hate the non-underwire bras. They annoy me. (motherhood ones). I still buy the underwired nursing bras.

  • While I was pregnant I couldn't wear underwire- LT was so high it literally cut me. I was also growing and changing so much I ended up in sports nursing bras from Sears. They offered like 0 support and I had a uniboob- I only recently went and got fitted for a new bra. I went fro a DD to a FF and I had to buy it specialty but I am so much happier. I wish I would have gone in sooner after he was born.

  • As for support, I had great luck with the bravado brand! I have also heard a lot of larger chested girls liking those as well. I started out a 34 C/D and went up to a 36DDD by the end of it all. I am now a 36DD. Just for those looking for reference.
