large-size maternity bras?

Hey Chicago ladies - particularly those with larger breasts - where do you go to get your bras? 38G here (or at least I was pre-pregnancy, who knows what I'll actually measure now), lived here for 2 years and I haven't yet found a go-to place! Obviously I need somewhere that carries larger sizes, and with staff who are trained in bra fitting and will help me find something that works. I'm located in NW Chicago but definitely willing to head into the city or out to the burbs for the right place!

    I swear by Lane Bryant's Cacique collection! Have been wearing them for about 10 years now. I actually bought new bras over the summer and tried a different brand, but returned them for Cacique. I got some nursing bras at Motherhood Maternity back in the day that were fine for when the time comes. I had a sports-style bra from them that was very comfy!

    Another recommendation for Be By Baby in Roscoe Village!  I think I read a sign that said they go up to size K?  Very friendly, helpful staff and a huge selection!

    Thank you, ladies! I think my next mission will be to Be By Baby! I ended up going to Nordstrom for a regular bra but I don't think the lady fitted me correctly. Either that or my boobs have just expanded, again... but I don't know, she seemed to be in kind of a rush. I was really happy when I left and then a few days later I was completely uncomfortable and crying about it! Oh the joys of pregnancy.

    I think Soma in 900 N Michigan carries larger sizes.

    I've had yet another recommendation for Be By Baby, and also for a place called Schwartz's Intimate Apparel in Highland Park. Just passing along for anyone else who comes across this thread!

    If you are ever in crystal Lake, there is a boutique called La Bellisima downtown, the owner is very knowledgeable and is wonderful at fitting. I've introduced several friends to her and they exclusively shop there now. She has a great selection with some beautiful options!
