Can I go braless at work?

in 3rd Trimester

How tacky would it be to just let my D pups free today? Stick out tongue Ok ...I talk a bunch of crap but I ain't nervy enough to do it.

But good lord is it possible to outgrow a bra in a day? This one is now cutting off my circulation. It was fine this morning but now I have just the middle hook clasped and its bulging at the seams ready to pop off.

Between outgrowing my bras, my belly hanging out below my maternity shirts, and getting the plumber crack when I bend over in my maternity pants, I must look a sight.  I do not want to go buy all new maternity clothes to get through these final weeks. Anyone else in this situation?

This baby is out of growing room!

    Take a break and go out and buy a bigger bra. I don't ever find it appropriate for any woman to not wear a bra outside of the house. (Even if their rack is on the smaller side.) I know it sucks and it's uncomfortable, but you're obviously going to have to go out and buy more eventually anyway! Good luck!

    yes, and I had to break down and buy new clothes.  I hated spending money on new wardrobe for work to wear for 6 weeks, but other than those bra extenders, I had outgrown all my mat clothes and I couldn't go to work nekked!  I have had a growth spurt since then, but it was definitely too close to go -time to buy more mat clothes.

    Just outgrew my 40 C sports bras, i wore them until they were so tight it was effecting my breathing. lol. I have cotton stretchy "belly bandits (off brand)" and i fold them over twice and place them across my breasts like a tube top and use that as a bra until i can go get some new bras this friday when we get $$$$=)

    Oh I believe you! I have had to go and buy bigger bras several times this pregnancy so far. (And I know my milk won't come in 'til after LO is born, so I already have even BIGGER nursing bras ready for that!)

    LOL!  There is one woman I work with who does just that, must have burned hers in the 60s or 70s and didn't look back.  Now she probably backs it with scientific evidence that it will be better for her lymph nodes not to wear one.  I wish she did!  I secretly call her braless wonder and when I leave for maternity leave, I would love to anonymously throw a bra on her desk on my way out!  :)

    I had to buy new mat clothes around 33 weeks and I'm so glad I did, I would be miserable trying to shove the ever expanding bump into clothes that weren't fitting well back then.

    I will go get new bras this weekend. I do have a few shirts that still fit reasonably, I might just start washing clothes and wearing again more frequently. I cringe at the thought of buying clothes that I will never wear again. I am way to cheap. I already know I have to buy a whole new wardrobe after baby. I was kinda saving my clothing budget for then.

    My mat clothes are about done also. I did go and buy a bigger bra though cause there was just no way around that anymore. I refuse to buy anymore mat clothes with 2 weeks left...I will go around in DH's shirts looking like a slob before I spend money on more mat clothes. lol

    This will be my last resort as well. Did you get the " Just don't stretch out the belly." response from DH

    If you are a stripper then yes, you may go bra-less at work, otherwise, nope.  Wink

    I totally feel your pain though I couldn't figure out why I couldn't breathe yesterday until I took my bra off and all was well!

     Its really weird. Things fit this morning, its like my rib cage expanded since then. If this one little remaining hook breaks its going to be a slingshot...

    Is that him in your signature?...cause he certainly does not strike me as a big guy! Unless the picture is deceiving!

    They sell bra extenders in most maternity stores for less than $2.00. I'm so glad that I have mine! If it's just the band that's bothering you, these are perfect. If it's the actually cup size, that's a different story, then you should invest in a new one, but if it's the band cutting off your breathing and circulation, these extenders are the BEST investment.
