I am normally a 32DD (yes! naturally, in case there are some of you who think other wise). I am currently in a 32F!! I am 37 weeks, I dont think my boobs are going to get much bigger until the baby comes! Stores dont carry my size!!! I am not sure if I need to get a nursing bra in about a 32F or ____? What is the 411 on buying nursing bra's being as I can only get them online.

Re: Nursing Bra sizes for the large busted!!
Yeeaaaah... you aren't alone here. I'm a 38DD naturally, borderline DDD. My F pregnancy bra has gotten tight enough that I'm considering forking over the $50 for a Bravado nursing bra. I've heard great things about them from small to large chested women alike. (Bravado has a basic sizing guideline that is easy to understand)
Most maternity stores will carry F nursing bras. Some carry larger than that. Destination Maternity is one store that carries larger sizes
Sorry, no clicky

Oh, that is sad... Yeah it was someone here on the Bump that told me about Nordstroms... I had never heard of it either! Try googling it, that's how I found my "local" one. (It'sstill about an hour from my house.)
I had an Anita brand bra with DS#1, and loved it. They are pricey, but it held up great, and they carry larger sizes. I'm a 34f-g. I also used Bravado nursing tanks and they were supportive, and nice for around the house those first few weeks, and also come in larger bust sizes.
Bravado has actual sizes? I have only ever seen the generic XS, S, M, L, XL
Nordstrums carries 32 f I was that size with my first and that is where I went. I know they were more expensive but what else can you do
You fill me!!! Z! My BFP Chart
I'm (naturally) a 34G/GG pre-pregnancy, so I've been having a hard time with this as well. I've been wearing the Genie Bra (you can get it pretty cheap from Bed Bath and Beyond) pretty much this whole pregnancy. The sizing chart won't help you, so you may have to try it on. I ended up with a 2xl LOL. No underwire and pretty comfy, and can go through the wash. It isn't nearly as supportive or pretty as my regular bras, but it has been working for now.
I am on the hunt for one that will work better for nursing, and I think I'm going to order one from Bella Materna. They have a few and in bigger sizes, that will supposedly stretch out a bit if you get bigger (which was my main concern). The one I'm looking at plus shipping is $30, and you don't pay to return/exchange it. So not bad.
My usual go-to site is brastop.com. They have great bras in general, and much cheaper than everywhere else, even with the exchange rate. I typically order a bunch (in different sizes if I'm not sure) to try on and get free shipping, then return what doesn't fit and keep what does. They have a really good return policy (no questions asked within 30 days as long as it isn't worn/has tags on still) which encourages you to buy a few different sizes to see what will fit you best, as it varies from brand to brand. Unfortunately, they don't have a huge selection of maternity/nursing bras and they haven't gone on sale, so I still haven't ordered one from them yet; I may wait a little bit to be sure of the size.
I did go to Nordstrom the other day just out of curiosity, but they don't actually carry maternity/nursing bras in store (at least this one didn't). They offered to fit me so I could buy from them online, but that doesn't really help me much so I didn't. I know Intimacy also has larger sizes, but I don't know if they have any maternity/nursing bras either.
