Are you sleeping with a bra on

cantwaitt · March 2009

to prevent the girls from going south? If so, how long have you been doing this?

I just started, but I am not convinced it will work and I really don't prefer to. I might have fallen into the trap of a myth; what do you think?

Ktindall · March 2009

I am not wearing one

Scout1218 · March 2009

Nope. It's likely your breasts will sag if you plan to BF. I figure I want/need to be as comfortable as possible to get the most sleep while I can!

beth thacker · March 2009

I have always wore a bra to bed! I feel weird without one on.

mommy411 · March 2009

nope never have...Im not a big chested so nothing really hangs anyway. I cant pass the pencil test

erinjcianciolo · March 2009

i started wearing one during 1st tri b/c the girls were in excrutiating pain 24/7 and i just kept in the habit - it can't hurt and i can only hope that it will help with them falling south.....myth or not!! Smile

TimsMayBride · March 2009

I do. They've been gravitationally challenged for a long time, so I'm not so worried about that, but they get sore if I don't. I used to do it a lot before pregnancy, too.

jmurach · March 2009

Nope...I can't stand sleeping with one on and I don't need to add anything else to the list of reasons why I can't sleep for more than an hour or two without waking up.

inbetween · March 2009

Nope. No bra. I am planning to breastfeed and just assumed that down south was inevitable. Lol. Part of life!

lcarlson0131 · March 2009

I've always worn one to bed, it just seems more comfortable for me.

izzybella · March 2009

No, and I'm a 38E.

jeng329 · March 2009

I, too, started sleeping with one in 1st trimester. My girls were sore and they felt better when they were "contained." I bought a sleep/nursing bra and I love it. I want to wear it to work!

This is the one I love.

IheartUSC · March 2009

No way! The first thing I do when I get home is let these puppies loose. I wear one only when I have to these days. Bras make me feel confined and itchy. I started out as a B or B- so these bad boys aren't making it to D status or anything.

mrsjazzsinger · March 2009

I usually wear a cami with a built in shelf bra - not because I'm worried about sagging, but because I leak and need to wear nursing pads

ASUsundevil97 · March 2009

I have to these days

?I wear a tank with a built in shelf bra. ?I wish I could go without a bra, but my boobs are out of control.

Little_Star · March 2009

Not now but when the baby gets here and my milk comes in, I will. I did it mainly because without having them harnessed, I was in PAIN last time around.

MrsRebz2Be · March 2009

I am but only because my boobs leak so I need to wear nursing pads.. Im not worried about them sagging.

wellfleet04 · March 2009

It is actually pregnancy, not BFing, that makes your boobs sag, so even if you don't BF you may get saggage. I don't think wearing a bra to sleep in will help much if at all. My boobs are SAD after DD and I am not looking forward to how much worse they'll look after this pg. They also shrunk after I finished BFing from a full B to an A--so unfair!

aspade · March 2009

I don't know how women with bigger chests manage normally. The bigger boobs are a shock to my system, to say the least (A to C so far). I've been wearing super comfy sleep bras to bed since the beginning of 2nd tri most b/c of how HEAVY my boobs feel. And the aching nipples don't help. I agree that the first thing I want to do when I get home is take off the day bra, but I am MUCH more comfortable with a sleep bra/tank on. After I stop working, I'll probably wear the sleep bras a lot during the day.

And where I agree with all pps? At this point, my comfort is more important than whether my breasts will sag.

Always have, always will. I want cute little C cup boobs... : (

Daisy22 · March 2009

I sleep in a sports bra but I've always done that. My boobs are 32F pre-pg and I know they've gotten bigger. I can't stand for them to be all over the place esp now with a big belly.

Yummy Sushi Pajamas · March 2009

I don't usually sleep with a bra on, but I have been doing it the whole pregnancy. I don't think it makes a difference in terms of sag or whatever, but for me it's just more comfortable. I am pretty large chested to begin with, so I already have some sag... but it helped cut down on soreness in the beginning to sleep with a bra, and now I find it helps control leakage too... so for me, it's a must.

I have never heard anything that really proves sleeping in a bra helps or hurts anything except your comfort... so I say do what feels best!

lsufan · March 2009

1. ?Wearing a bra to bed will not help with sagging.

2. ?Breastfeeding has nothing to do with sagging. ?It's the pregnancy itself. ?Whether or not you breastfeed, your milk will come in, and it will stretch those puppies out even more. ?Usually, when your milk dries up (whether right after birth or when you wean) they'll deflate a bit.

3. ?I usually wear a cami with a built in shelf. ?Sometimes I do wear a really comfy sleeping bra-- not too confining but just enough support to keep them from moving around too much.?

October30th2004 · March 2009

I am going with comfort! No bra!

Califragilistic · March 2009

my whole teenage life i thought this worked..turns out,medically, wearing a bra while sleeping has no effect on keeping the girls up. its also not good to wear underwire ive heard bc its not great for milk production.

tiffany41108 · March 2009

i always wore a bra to bed before, but i just can't anymore. it's too uncomfortable, and i get way too sweaty and gross. as far as the sagging goes, i'm not worried about it. i plan on having a reduction sometime after pregnancy anyway.

erino&chrish · March 2009

Not wearing a bra at night.

This except I have gone from a 34C to 38D and have not found those wonderful sounding sleep bras (will do so soon). I sleep in the nursing tanks.
