Bras!!! Nursing Bras!

Dukejess · August 2014

17 weeks prego (first baby) and I was wearing 34 DD before pregnancy and till now, my bras are getting a little to small in the cup so I went to Morherhood and bought 4 bras (buy 3, get 1 for free). The lady suggested a 36 E. I did so with the E but I am worried cause I really wanted these to last through my pregnancy and into nursing cause they are nursing bras BUT will they get to small? HELP PLEASE! How much have your boobs grown? And did u think need to get a bigger size just in cause of more growth? I don't want more growth DD was big enough... Trust! HELP!!!

My boobs went up two sizes with my first. I started as an A so I may have needed to grow a little extra. While breastfeeding I would up to a D before draining the tanks but that was rare. DS would nurse and I would pump everything I could out before I laing down to nap or sleep. With this one I'm up to a B but I'm pushing out of that fast.

I am 18 weeks and have already gone up a full cup size. I bought nursing bras from target and they are sized small medium large xl and xxl and I love them and there's room to grow in them.

Thanks Jenna for the response, so would u get a larger cup size if u were me?

I would wait and see if you need it. Some people need one size up and some people need more. It's going to depend on how you grow during this pregnancy.

My victorias secret pre pregnancy size 32 C was starting to get a little small and not as comfortable. Right now I am in Motherhoods 34 C. 36 C was a little big in the cups and band, but gave room for growth. For now I bought 2 34 C on clearance, but I am sure as I grow will need to get new ones. I just wanted something that fits now and didn't want bras to big.

Definitely wait and see. I started my first pregnancy as a DD and went up to a FF in the third trimester and even those were tight when my milk came in!! I got all of them from motherhood maternity and they have held up great, I have been wearing them exclusively for a year+ and they are still my go-to bras.

I posted this on the other one (accidental double post?) but my experience/advice is similar to PP's.

I went and got fitted after my LO was born, I went up about 1 cup size and 1 bandwidth. However I'm much smaller up top, 34a normally. I really did not like the nursing bras bc I found it difficult to deal with getting the bra to stay down during nursing, but I think that had to do with being small up top! I ended up buying nursing tanks and wearing those 95% of the time but I know my friends with larger boobs needed the support of a bra. The same friends also went up a few cup sizes so I think its hard to know what your body will do until it happens! I would wait if you can until closer to time or even after baby is born.

I went from a 36 D to 38I with my first. I don't think I was ever in the right size. I couldn't keep up! I think I only ever bought 1 bra at a time though.

I started out as a 32DD and am now growing out of a 34G. My doctor told me they would stop growing during nursing so I'm not buying a whole bunch of bras at once. You never know how your body will change

I am small, I wear a 34 A, pre pregnancy. With my DD I went up to a 36 B. I ended up going back to my prepregnancy size by 6 weeks after she was born. So just to show you everyone is truly different. I would just get what fits and is comfortable now and only get 2. If I would have bought thinking I would go up more during nursing I would have had bras too big. I would just stick with getting a size that is comfy now. I got all mine at Target and kohls and they actually were great price and very comfortable.

I went to a 36c after being a 34b. I used the target nursing bras until I weaned
