Pregnancy Bras
Anyone have any preferences? All of the baby books recommend going to a department or bra store and having a lady measure you! No thanks! I randomly bought the Spanx Bra-llelujah about a month before I got pregnant, and so far it is awesome! I'm hoping to get through the second trimester with it.

Re: Pregnancy Bras
When I was pregnant I just bought a few regular bras in larger than my normal size. I didn't really have a favorite. Post-pregnancy I fell in love with Bravado bras! I had a few Medela sleep bras that were ok but I tried a Bravado and never looked back. I had 3 or 4 for daily wear (Loved the Bliss .. amazing support for a non-underwire) and I bought a few nursing tanks to wear at night. If/when I get pregnant again I think I will definitely wear them again before/after my pregnancy.
They are a little pricey but have advertised sales every now and then. They also send e-mails with un-announced sales once you're on their list.
At about 12 weeks, when I outgrew my regular bras, I went to Intimacy for a fitting. I've always had a tough time finding bras (I'm a 32DD pre-pregnancy) so it seemed like an obvious choice and I've found that clothes look better with the right size bra. I bought one there then went to Bloomingdale's to pick up a few more of the brand I usually wear (Chantelle). I wanted to keep on wearing underwire bras (and sexy ones). They've lasted my entire pregnancy.
Just picked up my first nursing bra and I second Bravado bras. Since they are expensive, I went for a fitting at Isis Maternity to make sure I had the right size. I'll go again after the baby is born and my milk comes in.
