There are way too many fast food joints on my side of town. When I'm feeling lazy (like right now) I just get in the car and go to one of the million places near me. It's suuuuuch a bad habit!

Girl, I hear you. I went to Lazzari's for lunch and will probably go back for dinner. We eat out way too much.

DS and I are currently scarfing down some Culvers. So delicious but so unnecessary. I'll probably do Pepperjax tonight before I go to work too because, again, lazy.
STMs question - do you feel like your boobs got a lot bigger in the third trimester? I'm slightly busting out of my regular bras right now, but am wondering if I should wait to get nursing bras if my boobs are still going to grow a lot?
@tjvan I would definitely wait. There's a good amount of flux in size, and waiting until you're a few weeks post-partum is likely the best call. I found band expanders to be my friend come 3rd trimester last time - but everyone is so different!

I can't even handle wearing a bra for the first few months nursing. I live in nursing tanks. When my milk evens out I'm the same size as I am pregnant but that first month or so they are huge.
Im also bigger band width right now and that goes down when I start to lose weight.
I would get 1-2 cheap comfy bras to get you through the rest of pregnancy.

I went from a b pre pregnancy to a c pregnant to a dd postpartum. They stayed pretty huge until she went on solids and started the weaning process.
@tjvan I'm with @JessyKV. I lived in nursing tank tops for the first 3-4 months, but when it comes to nursing bras I would wait. Your band width and cup sizes could dramatically change (mine did).
You maybe could snag a few of the comfy nursing bras and/or tanks that are sized "S-M-L" pre baby, but I would wait for actual nursing bras.
Anyone know where to get wireless bras that com in a large cup size and are supportive? I was a 34DDD before pregnancy, bought two new bras at 34G from Soma about a month ago, have now bought extenders for the new bras and the wires are still KILLING me.

You may want to give Nordstrom a shot if there's one near you - they tend to have a fabulous selection and will order sizes if necessary.
@graceriesz I have no advice, but I wear the exact same size. I just bought a couple bras from Dundas recent in a 36DDD instead of my normal 34G to expand the band size, but they still aren't that comfortable. They look better than the crappy cheap nursing bras I have been wearing for the last year and a half though. Now that dd is only nursing in the morning, I really just want a couple months of wearing a normal bra before I have to go back to that. Let me know if you find a good wireless nursing bra that actually fits. I never have.
@graceriezs Yeah, that's pretty much what i have found. I have been wearing junk nursing bras off Amazon that were like 3/$30 for way too long. I wouldn't mind them for sleeping, but they really aren't good for normal wear. That brand is iLoveSIA if you end up wanting something cheap for the newborn when your size is still changing or for sleeping later.
@ellie111227 What size did you get in the iLoveSIA ones? I might order some. I have been (and always have) worn a low support sports bra to bed - otherwise I feel like I got in a fight with myself in the morning.
@graceriesz I've gone from a DD to an H cup, and nothing was fitting. I went he Amazon route and got some nursing bras. There is an extender (that I'm not using right now) that can be used when the chest expands more. My Dr told me that once the boobs settle down after your milk comes in (about a month postpartum) they should return to about the size that they are now.
Maybe TMI, but my boobs are crazy veiny right now. It's kinda weird.
@graceriesz Bravado! designs women essential was the one that I purchaes. They do not have underwire, and are supportive and comfy. Word of warning, they do feel like old lady bras, however. One of my girlfriends who is well endowed and is currently nursing recommended the brand.
I was a 36D before this pregnancy and to be honest I have no idea where I'm at now but sooo uncomfortable in my current bras... the cup areas, underwire, and band.
I had gone to Nordstrom a few weeks back, as that is my go to spot for bra shopping - love Wacoal, but I just did not feel supported at all in any of the wireless options offered.
I bought a wireless option that comes in S - 2XL sizing at Target this afternoon. To be honest it gives me the same, if not slightly more support than the wireless options at Nordstrom.
Also... I breastfed at first and then exclusively pumped for a long time. Never got into/cared for the nursing bras I purchased, I wore the Wacoal sports bra as my breasts were so heavy that I needed so much support... for months. Wasn't as convenient but it made everyday tasks/life so much better!
I will 2nd the cheapy bras from Target recommendation by @michaela0704 I like the gentle support and the price
I went from a 38D pre-pregnancy to a 42H after my milk came in and settled down last time. I did not decrease in size or feel comfortable in wired support bras until DD was about 7+ months.
I am not plus size this time around and my Target bras are still the most comfortable.
I don't feel like it's urgent to get new bras right now, but I'm a little taken aback at how maimed I look after taking off my bra. Like the cups leave these horrible indentations. Anyone else dealing with that? Is it a blood flow thing or something? The cups are still fitting.

@ellie111227 i'll let you know what I find - from what I have found so far, the wireless ones don't come in our size.
