Maternity Bras!

BabyScisney · February 2016

Hey ladies,
Has anyone gone maternity bra shopping yet? If so what are some good places to go. I think it's time for me. My DD's may have changed to DDD's already lol.

When I was pregnant with my son, i loved the spanx brallelujah (sp?). I think i got it from destination maternity. It was super supportive and front clip. I hope they are still available.

I have a stupid question.... When you guys are purchasing bras for pregnancy, are you buying nursing bras? Part of me is thinking it would be cheaper to buy only nursing bras even when pregnant so that I don't have to buy new bras for nursing. But I don't know how practical that is or how comfy nursing bras are for everyday pregnancy wear.

@Danicali not a stupid question at all. That's actually what i was thinking about purchasing. So we are on the same pg.

My mom actually suggested this to me last night when I was complaining about my bra feeling tight.

I purchased nursing bras because I knew I was going to try nursing and didn't want to have to buy two different types of bras. I loved my bras and they lasted a really long time. I got mine from Motherhood Maternity.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good wireless bra? I think Motherhood Maternity has some and I'm planning to go bra shopping soon but just wondering if there are favorites from any stores in particular?

I... bought one cup size up (40DD instead of 40D, which incidentally is easier to find), $10 for 2 at Walmart. Worked super for me. I NEVER wear underwires anyway, so it is the same style as usual.

I tried on a Brallelujah once - I don't know if the sizing is different or what, but it felt like it gave me no support whatsoever. Like, my sports bras (which is all I wear at home) are much more supportive than it was.

Not really about maternity bras, but new bras in general
Told DH I need to get a few new bras for obvious reasons. His question, "are they going to stay that size or go back down? Because if they're going to go back down, you should just buy some cheap ones to wear until you're not pregnant." Just for that, I'm going to VS to get an expensive bra. That'll teach him!

FYI- not sure why that comment upsets me, I realize it's logical. Just don't want to be told what to buy :-)

Your boobs will most likely continue to grow. So keep that in mind when shopping. Mine went from a 32DDD to a 34GG with DS.

Tara0604 · February 2016

i bought nursing bras too, but i never loved them.

anna.oskar · February 2016

The idea of my boobs getting bigger terrifies me. *shudder*

But, I do know that Motherhood maternity does fittings so I'll likely go there.

AshleyGemini24 · February 2016

Will Victorias secret size you without buying a bra? I'd hate to spend that much money on a bra when it will only fir for a short time.

LGW2015 · February 2016

@AshleyGemini24 yeah they should. They do free sizing. I've been sized by them twice before and I don't remember being pressured into buying afterward.

AshleyGemini24 · February 2016

Thanks @ LGW2015

SuperNerd42 · February 2016

I'm trying to hold off until I'm further along. I don't want to be way off on size and end up wasting the money.

For now I bought a few more mid impact, molded sports bras with hook closures to give me some growing room. So comfy!

Last time around my favorite nursing bras ended up being the wireless ones from Target. I also bought a few of the super pricey Cake ones from Nordstrom but didn't like them as much. I still wear the Target ones now (still occasionally nursing). But FWIW I have tiny boobs so I don't need all that much support.

BabyScisney · February 2016

@AshleyGemini24 yes they size for free just go to the fitting room area ask the lady to size u and she will..but be careful i have been sized wrong and went else where and the bra size was different! Hope that helps

UponAStar16 · February 2016

I would get sized and, it might sound obvious but, make sure you try on the specific bras you want because I've had same-size bras from VS fit very differently...depends on the style and coverage

LizaKate1213 · February 2016

I bought wireless ones from wal mart. They are super soft and comfortable but still hold shape nicely, about $10 each. I am holding off on nursing bras because I know I am going to grow more. I was 34C to start last time and went up to 34DD.

UponAStar16 · February 2016

Thanks for the wireless advice ladies - a quick trip to Walmart might happen today!

ByeBabyBunting · February 2016

I haven't worn a underwire since I was pregnant with DS1, they just aren't comfortable anymore. I'm planning on getting a few sized up sports bras. They worked for me for nursing last time

_darth · February 2016

Living in sports bras for now because small band sizes are expensive and these things don't seem to be done growing yet. Lululemon sports bras are comfortable as hell for small band/rapidly expanding breasts (even though the company owners have the ethical sense of a rabid badger).

I've used nursing bras in the past but omg I bought an h&m one online and it's super comfy and my hubby said hot lol

10yrslater0205 · February 2016

Oh and the h&m ones are wireless but look and feel amazing .. With my first two babies I lived in the target ones but I'll be using these this time and wear my target Camis to bed

If you have a Nordstrom near you they will measure you for free as well. As someone else has mentioned, sometimes the measurements at VS can be sketchy at times.
