Bras?

Question

Hello, 
I am very newly pregnant (4 weeks) and I'm already noticing that my breasts have gotten slightly bigger. I'm already a DD and have trouble finding bras as is. Is there such thing as a maternity bra that grows along with you? Bras are expensive in my size so if I can avoid having to buy new ones every few weeks, it would be awesome. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Answer

For my first trimester I just dealt with my normal bra. Close to the end some of the swelling when down and at that point you can look at a maternity store for a bra. The maternity/nursing bras are a bit more forgiving and do adjust to your growth some. I'm getting some new bras myself after Christmas because my regular bras really aren't cutting it anymore but I did make them last until 17 weeks (after Christmas I'll be between 18&19 weeks). Personally I find it better to wait for some of the swelling and pain to go down before going for a maternity bra. For now if you can find a sports bra to wear it should help. Also a wireless sports bra for sleeping will definitely help at night. I know being large breasted most the time you need a wire but for sleeping never sleep in a bra with a wire.Pre-pregnancy I was a DDD and now I'm not sure where I am but I'm definitely a lot bigger.

You can get bra extenders which will extend the band size. Might help keep you from having to buy too many different ones. I feel you! I started as a 30 G and have no clue what I am now. I kept some of my old bras which helped, but the cup size is definitely a bit off. I'm just going to make due knowing that I'll need nursing bras after I have the baby.

Answer

My maternity/nursing bras have extra clasps which had been helpful as my ribs have expanded. I'm not sure about extra cup size though. You can possibly buy one that's slightly too big in terms of cup size and assume you'll grow into it.

Answer

Maybe try sports bras? I think they are a little cheaper. Buy one the size you need and one bigger. I notice that mine are starting to get a bit tight. But I'm only a C cup, still have trouble finding comfortable ones
