42 H

asgcoffman · August 2015

Fellow mom's to-be, I am looking for a nursing bra now that I'm 6 weeks away from my due date but I'm having a hard time finding one in my size. I was a bra consultant a few years back so I know how to measure for a bra size. I measured myself at a 42H and I cant find them anywhere. Any suggestions on where to find extended bra sizes in nursing bras?

Bare necessities. Just ordered one in a 42 G and I know there were larger sizes on there. Good luck!

I don't remember the brands I used years ago, but I just pinned this the other day https://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/best-places-to-find-nursing-bras-in-larger-sizes As for underwire, avoiding them is an outdated practice. I'm also 42H and if I don't wear underwire my boobs are halfway down to my bellybutton! You only need to be worried about underwire in a poorly fitting bra. I do remember that I only used a nursing bra for the first few months of breastfeeding and then just got a regular bra and pulled down the cups. I nursed the first two for over a year each.

This one definitely has a 42H/I in the list

I havent checked other models, but there's at least that one.

I recommend Bravado. I'm wearing a 38H/I of theirs right now, and it's very comfy. Just checked the box it came in for you and they do list that they make a 42H. I'm about to size up, because these things are still growing.. But yeah, very comfy, rather affordable for a big size bra, and so far theyve held up great with washing.

I've also been told to stay away from underwire

Try the store Motherhood. I was there last week and purchased 4 bras for $90. I'm a 46E. I know they had bigger cup sizes.

Motherhood doesn't carry much above an E/F, unfortunately.

Look up Bravissimo. They're based the the UK so it may take a bit of time go shipping, but they carry big-boob friendly bras by Bravado, Panache, and others

Breakout bras might help.

Also, I'd check Amazon since sometimes you can find cheaper prices and faster shipping on some of the above brands.

I'm currently in a 36 G (threatening to become an H, but I hope not!).

This has been a worry for me, mainly because I am still growing (ugh!) and I'm currently at a 34/36 H and bras are so freaking expensive at this stage and size. How many are you supposed to get? How do you know that ordering online will get you the correct size? It's more stressful than it should be!
