Bras: maybe a ? for 2nd timers

I finally broke down and bought new bras and the girls are now happily comfortable in their 38DDs.  So here's my question, I know I'll need nursing bras post baby but can I expect a ton more growth over the next 5 months in my chest?

I didn't really have any more growth until after DS was born.  Then, my boobs were always huge, especially when engorged.

I was an A cup pre preg with DS. I went to a B/C when I was pregnant and then shot up to a D when I got my milk in. Needless to say I went back down to an A after I finished breast feeding! lol

Depends on the the person. The cheapest way to go is get bra extenders and then the nursing tanks until you have an idea of size - unless you fnd great $10 ones or something...

That's a good idea pivey, thanks.  Better than going broke on bras, it's enough to have to buy a new wardrobe.

I bought some bra extenders because I was tired of buying a new one every month or so.

I think that I did ok until she was born too.  I went from a 38D to a 38DD after she was born.  I am normally a 34C.  I got the bravado jog bra type nursing bras and they worked well for the ginormousness.  I was back to 34C around 6 months, though I BF until 1 year.

I went up at least a cup size during pregnancy, and then stayed about the same until she was born and I then I got huge again due to nursing. During pregnancy when I needed new bras, I actually bought a couple of nursing bras and just wore those. It was nice because they were big enough for pregnancy and big enough to wear when I was nursing and my supply had kind of leveled off and I wasn't engorged. I feel like I got extra use out of them that way.
