A maternity bra?

cmf242004

I am 7 1/2 mo. pregnant fairly petite, am having a hell of a time "keeping UP" with the bra department. Suggestions? I have gone from 32A-36B need a new bra already! 38B? Thanks.

Answer
You can get the strap extenders to make more use out of your current bras. You could consider getting nursing bras at this point if you plan to breastfeed. You should get fitted at a maternity store, but the lady told me to get a bra that fits on the tightest hook now, and a cup size that gives you a little room to grow, but isn't too loose. You usually go up a cup size when your milk comes in. A 38C nursing bra should do.

maternity sleep bra??

Q. Do I really need the cotton ones or can I wear a normal nursing bra?

Answer
I'm sure you'd be fine wearing a regular nursing bra, I bought these sleeping ones from Motherhood Maternity that I love. I wear them during the day since I'm at home anyways, they're more comfy then ones with the underwires.

What is the best Maternity bra you have purchased?

*FutureEMS

I'm looking for one that give me more lift without the wire, & it very comfy...
gives* it's* (blah, dang typeos, lol)

Answer
As far as wireless maternity bras go, pretty much any soft, cotton bra you usually like to wear, you can wear when you're pregnant, just adjust the size to fit as your body grows. Now nursing bras on the other hand are another story all together. I really like Elle Macpherson's 'La Mere' nursing bra, and Bravado makes a great sports type bra. A great 'lift and seperate' bra without an underwire is the Condessa bra, very chic and retro, and way cute. I've included links to all the bras listed.

Where can I get LARGE, comfy maternity bras?

Katherine

I've looked at a ton of websites and have found some that carry my size (34I at 17 weeks), however I would like some input from some of you ladies who are chesty like me and have had to deal with this before. Basically, I'm just looking for some COMFORTABLE, yet reasonably priced maternity bras in my size. Thanks so much:)!

maternity/nursing bras?

onearkansa

I am at a loss as to what size I need to buy. I am currently 25 weeks, and my regular bras still fit just fine. But I plan to breastfeed, and have no clue what size nursing bra to buy so that I am prepared ahead of time. My regular size is 38DD. Any body have any tips has to how to figure out what size I will need?

Answer
Do you have a motherhood maternity store around?
http://www.motherhood.com/Nursinghome.asp

Here is what I would do: buy what is called a "sleep bra" which is a soft cup sports-bra type nursing bra. They come in S-M-L-XL so there's a lot more leeway size wise.

http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?ViewSource=&Product_Id=975400360&category_Name=2+For+Deals&Category_Id=0360&MasterCategory_Id=MC29
http://www.motherhood.com/Nursinghome.asp

You could also try one of these in your size to have on hand, these are only $12

http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?ViewSource=&Product_Id=902510361&category_Name=Nursing+Bras&Category_Id=0361&MasterCategory_Id=MC29

GlamourMom Nursing Tanks are great too, and since it's S-M-L-XL you don't have to worry about cup size so much. You can buy them online at glamourmom.com but they are cheaper at motherhood maternity stores for some reason.

I would only buy any nice (ie expensive) nursing bras about 3-4 weeks after birth when you know what size you'll be. Otherwise it's a waste. You won't want to wear a real bra at first anyway, trust me.

Target also carries larger size nursing bras and nursing tanks

I have a question about maternity bras?

Britt

So where is a good place to by one? Do they actually make bras that are just better for being pregnant or does it have to be a nursing bra? When do you make the switch? I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have to be buying a bra soon and someone said something about a maternity bra. So that's why I'm curious. Thanks everyone. And good luck with all of your pregnancies!
Well my bra is just getting so small and I'm not really interested in a nursing bra because I'm only 11 weeks pregnant. So is there some kind of just pregnant bra that helps supports the girls without having the openings?

Answer
Basically a maternity bra is just a wireless bra. The idea is that it wont harm your mammary glands so that you'll be able to breast feed when the time comes. I have one but because I have a large chest I really can't wear it in public so I wear a regular bra during the day and the maternity bra at night. Personally I would get a comfy athletic bra for night and get a regular bra for the going out and what have you. I'm hesitant to buy nursing bras until the baby comes cuz I'm not quite sure how big these things are gonna get. Good luck

maternity bra??

Mrs. Giggl

So when did you half to go into a maternity bra? I have an underwire right now and it’s killing me but im not sure what to do cause I think I’ve gone up in size. I’m 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/nursing bras?

Q. Does anyone have any good websites that I can go to buy big maternity bras? I'm a 38DDD right now, and NO stores carry this size. Thank you

Answer
Hi I too and larger on top and had a hard time finding bras. I found this wonderful lady on Ebay that sells these bras that are so compfortable and really well priced. She will even help you get the right size by sending her your measurements. They are all cotton and cross over or are like a sports bra She carries in the sizes up to I think it is a 52 DD+ and more. Give her a jingle hear is her ebay user ID (breastfeedingisbest). She has great feed back I think over 3800. Hope this helps a little. They also wash well and the all cotten other than the wide elastic around. Try her she will answer all your questions and get the perfect size. She helped my size for my pregancy and then for the nursing stage after. I still wear them and my little one is 14 1/2 months old. I have nursed 5 babies and have never found a more comfy bra.

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!

I am 7 1/2 mo. pregnant fairly petite, am having a hell of a time "keeping UP" with the bra department. Suggestions? I have gone from 32A-36B need a new bra already! 38B? Thanks.

Answer
You can get the strap extenders to make more use out of your current bras. You could consider getting nursing bras at this point if you plan to breastfeed. You should get fitted at a maternity store, but the lady told me to get a bra that fits on the tightest hook now, and a cup size that gives you a little room to grow, but isn't too loose. You usually go up a cup size when your milk comes in. A 38C nursing bra should do.

maternity sleep bra??

Q. Do I really need the cotton ones or can I wear a normal nursing bra?

Answer
I'm sure you'd be fine wearing a regular nursing bra, I bought these sleeping ones from Motherhood Maternity that I love. I wear them during the day since I'm at home anyways, they're more comfy then ones with the underwires.
