s/o nursing bras

so when do you buy them? I mean, I know my size will change drastically once my milk comes in etc. I also wonder how much my ribcage size will change as it's gone up 3 inches or so over the course of this pregnancy. Will it ever go down?? How do you size for the nursing camis pre milk?

Most of the nursing tanks have some stretch. So long as it isn't tight when your pregnant, they should be fine after your milk comes in.

I personally just bought a couple non-underwire, softcup bras before that way they would stretch and still fit. Then after my milk came in, I bought more. I'm smaller chested and did not need a lot of support, so I have stuck with the same types of bras while nursing.

I really like the Bravado B Basics line "Stella" bra at Target. Unfortunately, they do not carry it online for some reason.

thanks! I do need to head to Target soon. I am already large chested, and my "maternity" bras are the only time in years I haven't worn underwire. Not really wanting to do underwire nursing bras, but think it may end up being a necessity....

When your milk comes in, you'll be much bigger but just for a day or so. Then they'll go back to about the same size you are now (at least that's how it worked for me!)

I bought mine while I was still pregnant because I knew I wouldn't be able to get to a store with newborn twins. I was a 36 DDD at the end of my pregnancy. I bought 36 DDDs because that's the biggest I could find (the bigger letters at Motherhood Maternity were actually smaller than the DDD I found at Hanes). It was a total waste because they are way too small. I probably need one that's about two cup sizes bigger.

thanks ladies!! I guess I'll just start with a few cheapie camis and have my mom figure out what I'm doing while she's here and can run to the store!
