Bras tight at almost 32 weeks :-(

mrskadams

I bought a couple of new bras around 15 weeks because I couldn't stand them anymore, and I was hoping these would make it to the end.  Anyway, these are now hurting!  The underwire is especially bothersome as it's cutting into my underarm.  I think it's because my ribcage is expanding.  I don't know whether I should just suck it up for the next 7 weeks or try to find something really cheap.  I really don't want to spend money for only a few weeks.  I'm already in a 36 DD so bras aren't cheap!

I ditched the underwires at like 15 weeks.  Find some nursing bras sans-wire.  They feel like HEAVEN.

Same prob - I'm going to get an extender and make do...or go on bedrest so I don't have to wear one and let them flop down into my armpits as nature would apparently desire...

Oh and I haven't used underwire since 1st tri...still same prob...

Try one of the extenders first! That is what I did and it has worked fine!! And they are much cheaper than a new bra.

Ooh an extender.  That might work, except I don't know if that would help with the whole wire under the arm problem.  Do nursing bras really hold you up?  I haven't worn a bra without underwire in over 12 years!

Ditto!  They are really comfy and add lots of support- and you will use them after!

I wish I would have heard of this extender thing.  During the last 9 months, I've bought 5 new bras.  2 were 36 D, and the next 3 were 38 D.  This extender would have saved over $60.

I recommend the bravado! ones and the Elle McPherson ones.

Aren't you worried that the nursing bras won't fit after your milk comes in?  I keep hearing your cup size really changes.

are the cups to small or the band across the back?  If it's the band, try going to target and just getting some bra extenders for $7.  There are 6 in a package and work wonders!!

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. My cup size never changed, just the width!

I ditched the underwire a couple of months ago.  It sux, but I just couldn't handle it any longer!  Try some bra extenders first.
