im due to have a baby in about a month and half im trying to find nursing bras but im not sure what size i may need...i have had some people tell me that once the milk comes in you will need a bra a cup size bigger than you are now...im currently a 38dd so what is the next size up for cup size and where might i find this size...im guessing it would be 38e but do they even make them?
Answer
Actually nursing bras are available up to a J cup, It is advised that you go to a lingerie store (not VS or a deptartment store) and have a fitting to make sure you are in the right size, at this point for a nursing bra you are advised to fit so you can easily fit your hand into the cup while wearing the bra, but you should only buy maybe 2 or 3 at this time and get more once you have been nursing for a while and your milk flow has settled. Here is a website that stocks nursing bras up to a UK J cup (which is like a US ~Lcup) so give them a look over and the postage is actually quite reasonable plus if you call up they can advise you with more personal information.

I got my nursing bra's at JC Penny's. I bought one cup size bigger than my normal size and it fit perfectly. Sometimes people don't get too much bigger at all when they milk comes in and other times they can go up 2 or 3 sizes bigger. I would just buy maybe one bra and then after your milk comes in go and buy a couple more. I know with me, my milk didn't come in until 3 days after I gave birth so I could still wear my normal bra. So if you think you might feel like it then just go shopping after you have your baby and buy your bras then. When I was in the hospital I just didn't even wear a bra. While trying to breast feed you don't want to have to full with the bra being in the way. My nursing bra I had to tuck the flap down under the bottom of the bra just to keep it out of the way. Also you don't want to buy too many nursing bra's because there is always the chance you can't nurse for some reason and then you spent money on bra's you could have had for something else. That happened to me. Good luck and congrats.
