Big Boob Blues

happynanny · February 2013

I have always been well endowed- a DD pushing a DDD pre pregnancy, but with the pregnancy I feel like the ladies are out of control!

I'm still wearing my ill fitting t shirt bras and sports bras, but not only do I end up with the dreaded double boob half way through the day, but I'm sure that it's contributing to my back aches.

I found some really pretty bras on zulily. Bought one cute nursing bra and 2 regular bras, 34 F. They just came in and boy are they small. Like comically small. Although I'm pretty sure that they're done growing (seriously hoping), I'm sure that filled with milk, I'll need my nursing bras to be even bigger. This makes me think I'm stuck ordering at least a G in maternity bras and an H nursing! Ugh, makes me so sad to even think about.

So not only am I stuck with 3 bras that I cant return as they're from Zulily (thinking of selling them on EBay), but I'm feeling seriously limited by these huge sizes.

Anyone else having troubles with the twins growing too large?
Any advice to where I can find an affordable large chested maternity bathing suit? I don't want to spend a fortune, but we love the beach and pool and I'd love to have just one suit to get me to due date.

I'm with you! 34G prepregnancy here. Now? No clue. Bigger though. Holding out til closer to due date for nursing bras. Not gonna even think about a swimsuit. Tank tops and bikini bottoms will do okay for me.

Sorry about your fun bags. I seriously hate being well endowed. I want to get a lift and reduction when we are done having kids,

Same here. I was a 36 DDD (36 F) before having DS. I ended up buying 38 H/I nursing bras. I've had good luck with them. I bought them from barenecessities.com. They have a lot of large sizes. Good luck.

Side note, I haven't gotten bigger with baby #2 so there is some good news. Next time you won't grow.

This is me...I just got a bathing suit...it was pricey, though from Lions Lair Designs in FL. I had to get a HH cup size.

I was an E/F cup before pregnancy and now I'm most comfortable in an H. I am surviving on 3 bras. 1G, 1F and 1 is an H. I read that you should get fitted for a nursing bra around 36 weeks but Intimacy is having a sale so I plan to go this weekend to see what I can find at a good price and scope out bras I like. I normally buy my favorites on eBay cheaper after I figure out what I like.

Do you have a Nordstron rack near by? That's where I buy my 34F bras.

Right there with you. I was a 32DDD prepregnancy and am spilling out of a 32FF now. It sucks. I get really frustrated with sports bras. The ones big enough to hold my boobs are too big around. I hate having big boobs.

In the same boat. Pre-DD I was 34 DDD/F. At 8 months, like all the books say, I purchased a 34H nursing bra from Nordstrom. Sure enough when I was b-feeding, it was too small. So I went up to a 34I regular bra (they didn't have nursing bras that big), and just delt with not having the flip down feature. It was not that big of a deal. I would MUCH rather have a well fitting bra that comes with a little work than one that doesn't do much for support but is easy to deal with. (I didn't publicly nurse, so it wasn't a big deal to me.)

So glad to know I'm not the only one!

Will they stay at their new enlarged state post breast feeding or will I go back to my original size? If I'll be at an H for good now, I would like to invest in a bunch at that size.

Check out www.herroom.com. That's where I got my nursing bras from and they have some specifically for women with huge boobs.

I heard that Nordstrom will convert a regular bra to a nursing bra. That's somethign to think about.
