Big Boob and Smallish Frame Maternity Bra Troubles

Brandi

So, anyone else have problems finding maternity bras to fit their boobs? I see so many cute ones, but they all seem to be DD or smaller. I was a 32DDD before I got pregnant. I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow and I'm already 34F-G. They don't make a lot of bras that size, which seems kinda strange to me since there are a good bit of options in normal bras my pre-pregnancy size and everyone's boobs grow during pregnancy. Motherhood didn't even know where to send me. I did end up getting a few sports type bras there and then a couple of nursing bras from Nordstrom and Destination Maternity, but they were like 3x the price of the smaller ones at Motherhood. If I get bigger than a G I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Anyone else in the same boat wanna vent?

I'm in the same boat! I'm just buying non wire soft bras and hoping for the best! There's a website called mayarya.com that has super cute bras in bigger sizes though! I'm just confused about what size I'm going to be! 😖

I was told you don't know until the end. Bare Necessities has bigger size nursing bras. I just dont want to order from online and have to return. l

Same boat! Always had huge boobs and an average frame. I was 34DDD pre pregnancy and I swear only one of my boobs has grown :( it literally won't fit into any of my bras I'm actually really worried it could be something not pregnancy related. I'm 27 weeks & I can't imagine what's gonna happen when they're engorged with milk. I am really just praying they shrink after breastfeeding honestly

Please get that checked. Pregnancy hormones can cause certain masses to just explode in growth. One in particular is much higher in African American women and is not cancerous but definitely dangerous.

I read you aren't supposed to get new bras until like 2 weeks before you're due. I was like "Well what am I supposed to do until then?!" I ended up getting one that fits now with room to stretch a little and one that's a little big.

You might have to look into getting them custom made. I know it's really expensive but unfortunately that's one of the downsides to being big chested :(

I'm gonna try Bare Necessities online first. They have a lot of different sizes. I just hate buying things I'm not sure will fit.

I ended up purchasing mine from the Lactation department of a large hospital locally. You might call and see if any of yours have that option.

I have nice bras for after my blood shrink back, but I need nursing bras. I normally get everything at Dillards.

Motherhood was horrible! Go to Macy's or some nice department store or a lingerie store (NOT Victoria's Secret) to get fitted. I was a 32D pre pregnancy and ended at a 32K.Most difficult thing about pregnancy. BOOBS!

I've looked at Macy's and Dillards online and they don't have a huge selection. Went to Nordstrom and they had one option in my size. Destination had one as well. If I get bigger I'm gonna try Bare Necessities online. They have bigger maternity bras there. It's the only place my sister can get bras because she's like a 38M. She will definitely have to go custom when she gets pregnant.
