Buy one cheapo one from Motherhood Maternity or something now, but wait til after the baby's born and your milk comes in to get fitted for good ones.
The BF'ing center at Evergreen has a good selection of nursing bras if that's convenient for you at all. They had some non-underwire ones that I really liked.
I really liked the ones I had from Motherhood Maternity. They had the snap that you only needed one hand to do. Be sure to check out how the straps snap or hook back together - you want it to be something you don't have to think about. Some of the hooks were impossible to do without both hands!
And Target has inexpensive nursing tanks that I lived in for the first few months!
My favorite is a Bella Materna. I picked one up from Village Maternity and bought more after the baby was born. It has no wire, no snaps, hooks, etc. You just pull the fabric aside to nursed. It has adjusted well as my breast size changes and I still live in it. I actually need to go buy some real bras that fit...

THIS. I went shopping before Jackson was born and was a B cup....and I almost bought a few bras. Then, I went after my milk came in and I am now a D cup. So glad I waited!!!
This said, I really like the ones from Motherhood Maternity, and shockingly, they are pretty cheap!
Ditto the Target nursing tanks. I still wear them. I also love that they cover your belly, so if you are lifting up your shirt to nurse, your belly isn't hanging out.
Another vote for the Target nursing tanks (they're back in the bra section, it took me forever to find them). I think I have about 20 of them now. I lived in a nursing tank and a hoody zip up for months. That made it easy because you could just unzip and still have your back and belly covered up. When I started wearing other shirts I liked the fact that when I lifted up the top shirt I still had my belly covered by the tank.
I bought 2 nursing bras but never wore them. And I agree with waiting till after baby to get fitted. I went in about a week after he was born and measured a 32G!!!! They didn't even carry that size in the stores.

This, exactly! All I wore the first couple months was comfy pants, a Target nursing tank, and a zip up hoody sweatshirt.
Re: Nursing Bra Suggestion?
I have 3 that I love. Two from Nordstrom and one from Target.

Can't find the Target one online, but it's a lacy underwire number that is actually kind of sexy despite its intended purpose. :-)

I spent more than I would have normally but I LOVE my nursing bras...they are Bravado Seamless. www.bravadodesigns.com
I think you should wait to buy much until your milk is in as you will be amazed at the changes your breasts will go through!
