Pregnant after 35
Nursing Bras - Rant
Okay so I've never been petite (size 14) or small chested (36 DDD pre-pregnancy) but this has got me really hot!
Now that I'm 35 weeks along I figured it was time to visit the local (MKE) Motherhood Maternity for nursing bras.
More like humiliations galore and the one that fit. I understand that the girls have grown and that a 40 E was a size in the realm of possibility, but the fact that it was Pea in the Pod ($) and the ONLY line that would fit me in only ONE style had me worried. Then I was informed that there was only one bra in the store and it was black.
Fine, order me two in nude and we'll call it a day I told the sales girl. And then told her that I had a coupon for the small fortune and was informed that it was a "special order" and could not use the coupon. When I calm down I will call corporate and tell them about this particular oversight in the mean time I am looking for a few good bras in the MKE area......HELP!

Re: Nursing Bras - Rant
I know exactly what you are talking about - the girls have always been on the larger side and I don't even want to go in to what size they are now!
Check out this website:
https://www.bravadodesigns.com/home.asp
I ordered the regular nursing bra and I love it - of course I had to get the larger size and after wearing it all day I have to say that I am pretty impressed with it. I will be ordering more.
For a nursing tank I got one from here:

I bought the cami sutra - and love it as well and plan on ordering a few more.
Of course all of this is online and you can't try it on right then but both sites have easy return policies - in fact I did return one bra to bravado and they didn't give me any troubles at all over it. Good luck!
I also know what you mean. I'm sure I need to be remeasured but was an F at last check. How many G's are out there - not any in store.
I know Motherhood has several locations in Phoenix and one had slightly more in stock. I don't like their return policy of 10 days, but they did order my bra and sent to my home with no shipping cost. I think it'll be great for BF but it has minimal support for an F.
I, too, will check out bravado. Thanks!
And, yes, I would call about the coupon, too.
From another Milw.Mom - Did you go to the one at Mayfair or across from Brookfield Square? I've had good experiences at the one in Brookfield, you may want to try there. They have a bigger selection. Also, I checked out the bravado designs website, and they look good too.
Good Luck with everything!
I went to the one on Bluemound because I had another visit for clothes that went just fine. Maybe it was just that day or the item I was looking for but after working in retail myself I know what good corporate policy and customer service looks like so I have little patience for anything else and really from a specialty store with not a lot of discounts!
Thanks for all the input!
Do you have a specialty bra store in your area you could go to?
GL!
Good news! I e-mailed corporate and they called with the two things I really wanted. An appology and a store credit!
Bought a nursing tank with the credit and then went to Target and got Gilligan O Malley bras underwire (for when I go back to work). So now I'm set. Thanks for all the advice!
