Nursing bra for large sizes recs?

Hi Ladies.  I'm popping over from 3rd tri because I figured you may have recent experience with this.  I was a 42DD before getting pregnant.  My midwife has advised me to try to have at least one or two nursing bras on hand when I deliver.  Do I buy in my current size or should I go up a cup size for good measure?  I've been told they may really swell when my milk first comes in.  Also, where do you get your large nursing bras?  There are no maternity stores in my area.  The nearest mall with a maternity store is over an hour away, so if you know of any online retailers that may be better for than Motherhood Maternity or other retail chains I would appreciate recs for them as well.  TIA.

    They have sizing instructions for women in the third trimester.

    These are the best nursing bras I've found.  I have quite a large chest and they support beautifully.  I've also fallen in love with their nursing tanks.

    I love my Bravado bras. They fit really well and are comfortable. Personally, I waited and bought my nursing bras after LO was born. I didn't want to waste money on something that my not fit in the end. I ended up being the same size as when I was pregnant, but everyone is different.

    I was in your position, totally.  I waited (so glad), but I did get a sleeping bra to wear until I could get a real nursing bra post baby.  I wore it until I could get sized.  It was absolutely helpful to have a sleeping nursing bra in the hospital and when I was first home, etc.  I was a 36 DDD while pregnant and would never have guess I would be a 36 H/I post birth.  I was sized before and after.  Good bras our sizes are NOT cheap and I would have been really upset if I spent big money and then it did not fit.  The sleeping ones are not super supportive, but they work.  They are also cheap (MM).

    I recommend getting an Anita nursing bra after LO comes.  I love, love, love.  Great support!  I bought on Amazon after getting sized at Nordstoms (they are around $70 there, and much less on Amazon).

    BTW- I tried the only MM that was in my size (online order only) and it was horrible.  Spend the extra bucks and get two good ones!

    Bravados didn't fit me, I'm an H post baby.  I did buy medela and like those bras although they redesigned their stuff and I haven't tried the new stuff yet- maybe just buy a sleep bra.
