Lane Bryant is decent at larger cup sizes. I'm not sure it they have nursing in all sizes, but they do have a nice selection and they aren't the plain jane ones.

So, last time I had ONE (yes, one, I was woefully unprepared) nursing bra that a friend gave me. It was scratchy, ill-fitting and just miserable. I just don't know what to get. I've looked at a few places and while I know I probably don't need anything new now (I have small boobs...I am probably a full B now that I am pregnant), I wear sports bras most days so I'd like something with a similar feel. I do have a big rib cage though so I usually buy a large for the band size.

Bravado has some that look like sports bras. I wore one of those when I was giving birth last time- like the whole 36 hours

@Firemanswife11 You could also check out ebay. I love that place for my more 'quirky' items.
ETA: Link This was just a quick search.

Target! I got some inexpensive ones there that were nice and flattering, and comfortable most importantly. I nursed for 14 months and while they're worn out now, they lasted very well, especially for being like $15.

Edit: Whoops, $18.99. Still. They're nice. Here's the link.

@derbysquirrel - check out herroom.com - they have a huge assortment of sizes for regular and nursing bras

proudparent2b · February 2018

Check out your hospital! Some have a store in the maternity section with a wide range of nursing bra sizes.

@Firemanswife11 I went up to a B cup, barely, with DS. I bought my nursing bras at Target & Walmart. I’m not sure what Target has now - the closest Target to me used to have a great maternity dept, but now they only have 1-2 racks. The nursing bras my Walmart has now look very similar to the ones I bought at Target when DS was born.

For sports bras, I didn’t really need support, so I wore nursing sleep bras with nursing pads inside. I don’t remember which brands I bought back then, but I know Walmart now sells Medela sleep bras in with pumping supplies in the baby section. I assume Target would too, but I haven’t looked in their baby section since I got pg.

Anyone have any maternity workout pants they like? Last time I just kept wearing my regular pants but I already feel suffocated by them!

kcdo1010 · February 2018

@Firemanswife11 I coach soccer and needed the sportsbra support so I got a few actual nursing sports bras from motherhood maternity. I also don’t have a large chest, but preferred the compression of the sports bra

@Krysta6 The pair I really love is from Target. I wore them postpartum for awhile too. Feels like they really hold everything in and the back crosses down so they aren't too hot. I recommend sizing down in them. I just got another pair in my regular size and they are a bit too loose (although I am sure I will grow into them in no time lol)

pghctwife · February 2018

I need to hit a sale at target. No way on$35 for maternity leggings! I need some though. I have 1 pair that have a hole. I also have 1 pair of gym pants that fit, also with a hole. But when I went to target they were all so $$$

Are maternity legging significantly different than regular leggings? I've been wearing my regular fleeced leggings since about 7 weeks, and they have so much stretch I'm fairly sure I could wear them until well past my due date.

Mine have a lot of stretch, but where they fall cuts into my belly, and thats going to get more and more uncomfortable. Full panel all the way. Of course, I won’t be wearing leggings in August!

@derbysquirrel I wore regular leggings all throughout my pregnancy, I'm short 5' so leggings on me get pulled up ridiculously high. They stretched out quite a bit though in the end and I couldn't wear them PP.

derbysquirrel · February 2018

Thanks, I'm short too, so many of my legging already are full panel

They're all pretty cheap, so I'll just replace them after. Most of my leggings are fleeced and I wear them in fall/winter, but I'm debating getting some warmer weather ones for spring/summer (I run cold, and our summers here aren't hot) but I don't want to spend much more than is necessary.

Krysta6 · February 2018

@rocknrollmom I totally went to target and tried on some of their capris right after I posted! I've already warn them once and I love them! Its so nice to not be pulling at my pants the whole time lol

I also got a stitch fix this week and they actually did really really good! Sent me exactly what I asked for! I had issues with them postpartum so I was skeptical (they kept sending me form fitted stuff at like 1-2 months pp, it was emotional lol).

I got maternity leggings from the Gap and I'm in love. They're so incredibly comfortable and soft. I may end up with a million pairs.
