I plan on breast feeding. Was just curious as to what size bra I should get. I am currently a 38 DD have been since about 5 months prego. Thanks in advance!

That's what I was thinking too

Motherhood maternity had these bras that came in s, m,lg types that I loved. They were really comfy for sleeping in and lounging around the house. And they were easy to nurse in. I had an xl because I went from dd to e. Might be something worth looking into.

I would recommend a few nursing tanks that come in S/M/L at first (or nursing bras, but I liked the tanks since I felt weird about my deflated belly). After a week or two you should be good going out to buy a few bras.

I got a bravado seamless silk nursing bra to have something to start with, also up to a 38DD now. Size large fits perfectly and still leaves room for me to get bigger. I also got a couple of the Lamaze sports bras when they were on sale at zulily and the large barely fits, so I would go up to an xl in those

I got these at Target that come in small, medium, large sizes that I think will work well until my milk comes in and I can get sized. A lot of people say that they are exactly like the Bravado Silk bras but cheaper:

(Go by your bra size, not your shirt size. I'm a small in a shirt, but a 34DDD right now. I got a large and it fits.)

When your milk first comes in you'll get bigger than you are now from the engorgement, but once it regulates it won't be too too much bigger than you are now.  I would start with just one that fits a little loose for now, and buy more about 3 weeks post partum when everything is regulating

And don't go buy bras while engorged! I made that mistake last time. I thought I'd regulated but a week later all my cups were way to big unless I'd gone several hours without nursing.

Another vote for wait until your milk comes in.

I bought 3-4 nursing tanks in size small (HAHAHAHA), took off tags, washed them, and then had to donate all of them. Waste!

I have bought one motherhood maternity nursing bra, one of the "sports" type. More supportive. I'm not big chested, but by Victorias Secret sizing I am a 32 D. So I bought a size medium in the motherhood nursing bra.

It's pretty snug even now before my milk comes in so I'm a little nervous, but according to the sizing charts I should be fine. Love the look and feel of the bra, though.l

Also remember your band size will go down after baby is here, your ribs get wider so baby fits, so after baby you may go down to a 36, and stay a dd or go up, so for sure wait 2-3 weeks!

Thank you all so much! I will wait! I was just worried I would need them right away and wouldn't feel like getting out.

After reading the advice of some of the ladies on here, I got a Bravado nursing bra.  I'm in love...just saying

@kfdecarie‌ Thanks for mentioning band size-I had been wondering if that was likely to return to close to normal as my overall body weight does.
