So when did you half to go into a maternity bra? I have an underwire right now and itâs killing me but im not sure what to do cause I think Iâve gone up in size. Iâm 18 weeks so should I just go up a size in regular bras or go to the maternity? Someone told me that underwire bras will mess up your milk glands?
Answer
If your breast are already swelling I would suggest going to a maternity bra. If your not sure what size go to a maternity store and their salespeople will size you. This is a good thing to do after the baby, too, if you are going to nurse. A too small bra is not only uncomfortable but it can mess up your milk development and flow.
You can still wear under wire though. Maternity bras come in all shapes and sizes just like regular bras. But, again, I would suggest being sized because wearing the wrong kind of under wire while pregnant and nursing can actually cause a bad infection. If it squeezes you in the wrong places it will clog your milk ducts and lead to an infection that can cause high fevers and ALOT of pain.
18 weeks is a tad too early maybe but, it wouldn't hurt to look into the pricing and sizing. I went up a size and was very uncomfortable. When I finally went to a store it turns out I was wearing a bra 3 sizes too small!!!
If your not ready for all that yet, try a sports bra. They are really comfortable and less likely to rub you when you begin to get sensitive.
And, finally, remember that if you want to nurse wearing the correct bra can be very, very important. If you do not want to a snug bra will do better as it will decrease milk flow and production and help you dry up quicker.
Hope this helps! Best luck and congratulations!!!

Maternity Bras?
Q. I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and am just now out growing my pre-pregnancy bras.
Just wondering what my best bra choice would be. Should I get nursing bras (I plan to nurse) already? Should I stick with normal bras just a size bigger? Is there any such thing as a maternity bra?
Thanks :)

Answer
I had a maternity bra that I slept in...It was like a sports bra, but with lighter fabric, and you could move the panels aside after the baby was born to nurse. I wouldn't buy anything just yet...I would purchase a cheapie, supportive bra at wal-mart in your size now, and wait and see if you go up another size. After the baby is born, your milk will come in and your boobs will gain another cup size at least. So hold off on buying the nursing bras until after the baby is born, since you can't return them and they're pretty expensive. Good luck and congrats!
