what bra am I going to wear??

Question

Hi ladies! So I'm not sure what to do and I was hoping you guys could help me. Before I got pregnant I wore a 30I bra size. I read that while your pregnant, your breasts go up 2 cup sizes which would make me a K.  Any suggestions on what to do? I'm really skinny with these huge boobs, if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer

I've literally spent so much money on nursing bras, it's awful. I have to buy them all online because like you, I'm bigger bust with a small band size, but I'm only in DDD and E, and I thought that was bad. However, with every stage of breastfeeding your boobs will grow and shrink, and eventually return back to normal size when your baby has weaned, so I recommend getting a comfortable bra that fits now. You never know if you will continue to grow anyways. Some women never get bigger. I go up like 3-4 sizes. So I have DD, DDD, and E sizes. But I've bought them over two pregnancies, but I've easily spent over $300 on them. I've just put in an order with thyme maternity for new ones I'm hoping will be more comfortable than what I have. Before I have the baby I'm going to try the hot milk nursing bras site and order more from there.

Oh lord I feel you. Bra hell. I'm super tiny with a big ass chest, too. And they grow so fast that I couldn't keep up. At first cheap sports bras worked but not for long. I finally went online and ordered some extra support full coverage bras and I'm finally comfortable. Not bothering to get nursing bras yet since your boobs can get even larger after your milk comes in

Answer

I waited until a month before my due date to buy a nursing bra and bought one a size larger then what I wear. It fit perfect while my milk was regulating. Thing is I only wore it for a few months. I was much more comfortable in just a sports bra. Not the really tight, high impact ones but rather the tshirt ones. And for those I just wore a size larger then normal. Can you special order the size you need? Or perhaps wear sports bras? Sorry I'm not much help.
