BRAS!

in May 2013 Moms

First of all... HATE THEM RIGHT NOW! and I've spent so much money trying to find one that's comfortable, they seem fine in the store and then when I go to wear it for just day-to-day stuff.... CAN'T STAND IT! the girl at the store said that I'm a D cup... that's fine.. but there is like an inch gap between my boobs and the cup... how does that make me a D?!? I went ahead and just bought nursing bras because I don't want to waste money on maternity bras and I had a couple bras that felt fine up until about 2 weeks ago... I don't know if I should wait and judge after LO gets here, but wow so uncomfortable! the middle part where the wires come together... when I sit, omg! I can't even describe how uncomfortable I am! When I'm home... its off immediately! 

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? I'm going nuts!!!!! I've been avoiding going out because I'm so uncomfortable!

    Buy a couple of inexpensive nursing sleep bras then wait til your LO gets here and your milk comes in to buy nursing bras.  Your boobs will likely change again, so don't waste the money now.

    Check THIS out.  It's not the best, but before DS1 was born I was a 34B, when my milk came in I temporarily went up to a D, and when all was said and done, I'm now a large A/small B and they still fit the same way.  I will say that when my breasts are engorged and full, it does hurt my back and probably because they weren't the most supportive, but other than that they're pretty comfortable and I feel the grow with you pretty well.

    I can't help you, but I sure can complain with you! I've just been wearing big sports bras since my regular bras stopped fitting in like November. I decided to measure myself last night and I am a 36H Indifferent!!! Up from a 36DD pre-pregnancy. I don't even want to think about how big I'll be once my milk comes in.

    I can definitely relate. Before I got pregnant I was a 36D assuming it was full coverage, no padding etc. I haven't been able to not wear a bra since I was like 14. So going braless or just a tank top with the bra built in isn't even an option. Plus I work in a very corporate environment so I needed something to make me look normal, sports bras smushed things down and regular bras pushed the girls up so high I'd have cleavage even in a turtle neck.

    What I found was I had to shop at the stores and for the brands my mom does. VS is out and vanity fair/maiden form is in. We have some outlets by us so I went there and got fully lined no wire bras. I also went up a band size to a 38. That relieved the pressure on my ribs but kept things looking ok. I also layer with a fitted maternity tank top which keeps cleavage in check and helps smooth out any bumps. HM had great cotton maternity camis that are nice and long and do the job.

    Thankfully I'm not having this issue yet but would nursing tanks help? The ones with the built in bra?

    I have a related but not related question. I have always been a 34b now I am a 36B. So basically no real xhange in size due to prefnancy. However I am worried that when my milk comes in I may still go up a cup size so I haven't bought anything but I wasn't sure if I absolutely need to get them ahead of time. I mean my boobs are not huge so it's not like I need support. I have a nursing tank which I plan on taking to the hospital. Is that fine?
    SIGNATURE FAIL!!!!!!!

    Sports bras. Although they are not very flattering of my big ol boobies they are comfortable. I've worn my pre-pregnancy bras here and there when I wear a nice shirt(I live in T-shirts too) and that comes off as soon as I get home too.

    Why on earth are you still wearing underwire? That's why you are uncomfortable! I bought a couple nursing bras from Motherhood and I'm so glad I did!

     

    The nursing bras I bought from Thyme Maternity (I live in Canada) have underwire... but other than those.. no I am not wearing underwire! Can't stand it!!!

    I just don't know if the underwire in the NURSING bras that I bought are gonna bother me after LO gets here or not because as of right now when I sit it all smushes together in between my boobs and belly and it hurts....

    I got one.. but I don't want to wear it in public.. has no padding and makes me look like I have a uniboob! lol it is very comfy tho... just looks like I'm not really wearing anything.... It's too late to wait to buy nursing bras.. the girl at the store told me to come in within a month of my due date... which it was and fitted me... with some room for when my milk comes in... but claims I'm a D cup now... I don't buy it considering a C cup is big on me.... I just don't know what to do!!! I'm so uncomfortable in my own skin!

    I totally have felt the same exact way about bras for the entire pregnancy. I found tanks with built in bras at target for like 15 and just wear those everyday. Highly suggest them!!!!!

    I wish I had a target... lol I've heard so much about them! There is going to be one opening in a town near mine soon in July I think... Living in Canada we don't have a lot of the same stores.... lol

    If anyone sees this, the medela nursing sleep bra is the most comfortable thing I've found so far.
