Maternity bra advice

My bra size has gone up 2 sizes since getting pregnant. I sized up once already and those are now tight. I bought maternity bras and I hate them, they just aren't comfy or supportive. Any favorites out there that won't break the bank? Thanks!

    I found a one size fits most bra that has been a game changer this pregnancy (my 3rd). I found it at a local women’s clothing boutique so no online option but might be something you could look for that fits as you and baby grow. It’s not a maternity or nursing bra, so I should be able to wear after done nursing as well. I’ve gone up at least 2 sizes and still fits. I should mention that I am normally not large chested (between A-B cup), so might not work for larger chested women. Realistically it probably won’t fit when my milk comes in, but that is when the nursing bras are best anyways. 

    There is also a very comfortable and supportive nursing bra I have always relied on from target for all my pregnancies. I wear it pregnant, nursing, and also when not pregnant. One of my favs, will link here: https://www.target.com/p/kindred-by-kindred-bravely-women-39-s-sports-pumping-38-nursing-bra-twilight-m/-/A-87412068

    Finding a comfortable (or simply not painful) bra is still my biggest struggle. Anyone else have a maternity bra rec? I've tried multiple amazon ones and the mom cozy brand. Those are okay, but I still find myself adjusting all day long.

    I haven't found anything I like. I just sized up my regular bra.

    I really miss having maternity specialty store. Being able to shop and try things on without having to order and then return.

    I can’t find a single maternity store within an hour of Seattle. And the online stores are low inventory on popular sizes. I’m so bummed.
    i sized up to xxl on target sports bras. I wear them with everything not just workout gear. I also got a large non wire bra at Victoria’s Secret for dressing up.
    way more options when I was pregnant 7 years ago. Not sure wtf happened!!!!

    Not maternity but I currently live in the bralettes from Aerie.  I have sized up a bit so they are comfortable.  They also have nursing tanks there that are great and I wore postpartum last time and plan to again

    @gam061723, I agree. I bought a couple from the mom cozy brand and they're just ok.

    The Everyday Maternity Bra from New Beginnings works great for me. I've been using it since pregnancy through breastfeeding. It's comfy, good support, great fit and doesn't feel too tight. And it's affordable compared to a lot of others I looked at.
