  Most of mine came from Target.  I'd have to go pull them out to remember if they have underwire.  I actually ended up wearing nursing tanks at home because it was just easier and more comfortable.

  I tried one from motherhood and hated how it fit me. It dug into my sides something awful. I found one I absolutely love. I may never go back to "regular" bras. It has no underwire, which I was skeptical about at first but it's super supportive and SO comfy. I was a 36DD before pregnancy and am currently a 40E. I love love love my Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra. It's pricy, but SO worth it. I bought mine on Amazon.
  
  ETA: They're very stretchy and will grow with me, which is why I was willing to pay a bit more

  The only advice I have is get one or two now, but don't spend a fortune until after your milk comes in. Because your boobs can get huge.
  
  As far as underwire goes, I wouldn't stress it. Just make sure that it fits properly.

  I got some new bras a few months ago at Soma and they told me they just launched nursing bras, too. I plan to check that out soon.

  I have Walmart ones that were cheap and no underwire. I found them much more comfortable early on than trying to wear my normal bras, though I preferred nursing tanks for around home.

  I'm thinking that the time is coming for me to invest in some nursing bras.  I have no idea where to start looking, besides Motherhood Maternity & I hated how theirs fit me.  Does anyone have any suggestions for the best brands of underwire nursing bras?  Ideally from a place that I can try them on, instead of ordering them online (but if it comes to this I am willing to give it a try).
  
  Also, I know there is some information out there saying that it's not recommended to use underwire bras while nursing because of the possibility of clogged milk ducts, I have also heard that this is up for debate.  Does anyone have real life experience with using underwire nursing bras?
  

  Thanks for posting. I have these exact same questions!!

  Ditto all this! Love this bra.

  I've discovered that the women's boutique in the hospital that I'm delivering at carries Bravado bras.  We also have a Soma about 5 min away.  I'm definitely going to hit up both of these places to see how their bras fit.  I've never had luck with WalMart/Target bras, so I'm not feeling too hopeful about those, but I'm sure I will give at least try on the Target ones as well.  (I absolutely despise our WalMart so I avoid it at all costs!)
