have you bought new bras?

in Pregnant after 35

I admit: I haven't bought new ones this whole pregnancy. Well, yesterday I went to Bloomingdale's because I decided it was time. Apparently I am now a 36D?and I've been wearing my old 34Bs this whole time!!

Anyhow, the 36D is *much* more comfy, as you can imagine. ;)

    I put it off as long as I could....I had lost some weight since I had bought the non-pregnancy bras I was wearing, so they had some give to them.  But, it got to the point where I felt like I was wearing a vice and ended up buying a couple nursing bras...aaaah, sweet relief!

    Nope, I haven't bought any.  I'll be honest, I'm seriously afraid to get measured. LOL.  I was a 40DD before I got pg and don't even want to know what I am now.  I guess I'll need to do that soon though!

    I went from a 34B up to a 36C pretty early on and bought a few new ones then. I have been using band extenders to get a little more use out of them but it's time to get a new cup size. These are just too binding. I'm guessing I'm probably 38D by now.

    Too bad DH is more of an a$$ man than a boob guy, but then again that has expanded too..;-).

    I held out for the longest time before giving in, but man was it a relief when I did. I got a mat bra and 2 nursing bras. I only went up one size, but the soft band on my belly, instead of the under wire, made all the difference.

    I have a funny story.  DH and some of his buddies were at a bar one night.  There was a conversation about the waitress being hot and DH said that he didn't see it.  One of our friends said, well Hugh (DH) is a boob guy (and the girl didn't have any).  Another friend said "that's obvious". LOL

    No but I need to - mine are all broken or inadequate.  Haven't "grown" too much but enough I guess.

    I went from a 36C to a 38C just last year.  During this pregnancy I have gone up again... to a 40D.  So comfy!  I ditched my underwire too.  It was so uncomfortable!

    This is terrifying to me. I had a breast reduction when I was in college and my bbs are already itchy from what I assume is stretching. I don't think I can handle buying bigger bras.

    I was already a DD, so now I'm in a DDD underwire and it's killing me.  But I need to sleep in them too, otherwise they're just all over the place.

    Because I'm so close now, I'm going to wait until they get REALLY big and probably pick up some nursing tanks.  I've heard Target has decent ones in larger sizes.

    Yeah, this is a sore subject with me right now.

    Yes.  I have always been large, so now I am crazy big and will get bigger I presume.  It's kind of nice that my belly seems to finally be bigger than the girls.

    By wk 14, I had outgrown my DD's by 3 sizes.  My poor BBs were extra sore & swollen from being stuffed into the wrong size bras.  I had to go to the hospital's lactation dept. to find bras that fit, but it feels so much better wearing them.  I'm staying at a G for now, but was warned that once your milk comes in, you can go up 1-4 sizes!!!

     PSA - the Bravado nursing bra is great for sleeping/lounging, keeping the girls in place and supported.

    I was a 36B before but a small B - now the bras have filled out pleasantly.  I have a couple of bras with removable pads, so I've removed those and they still fit nicely.  I don't think I need new ones yet before I'm in the 3rd tri (I'm 22 weeks now).
