Bra question

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
So I'm pregnant with my third baby and somehow I'm forgetting how much bigger your boobs get when you're nursing. I want to buy some new bras but I don't know if I should get them bigger than what fits me now.

I'm 31 weeks now and my boobs have definitely grown a fair amount since being pregnant .. I'm just getting some sports bra type bras, no clasps or underwires or anything, but the way they're designed if they're too small they'll cut into my boob and I'll probably spill out. Should I get the size that fits me now or a size bigger?

Thanks

are you able to wait till just before delivery to get a fitting? after delivery would be better but if you dont have a store near to you it could be difficult.

I know it was hard for me to anticipate just how much my boobs would expand post-delivery. I jumped full letter sizes

I would expect to go up a cup size, not including nursing pads. You could always get one now, or a couple that are quite flexible and then send get more after the birth.

I would definitely wait until a few weeks to invest in new bras, there is just no way of knowing how much bigger you'll get. I went up 5 cup sizes, from D to I, so no way would I have been able to guess that.

I would get a bravado seamless nursing bra. They are sooooo comfortable. There are no maternity stores where I live, so I ordered about 20 different bras online. Hands down, the bravado seamless nursing bra is the best. And it is very adjustable, both in chest circumference and also cup-wise. The soft fabric they are made of is stretchy enough to accommodate full breasts and at the same time strong enough to support them. The run small so if you are between sizes go with the larger one. Can you tell I like this bra?
