Nursing bra help

[bumperlicious]

I'm still only 6 months pg, so admit it's little early to be worrying about this, but I am confused about what to do about nursing bras.
Will my bra size change when my milk comes in, if so how do I know what size to get? If I have to wait until then how do you manage in the meantime until you work up the energy to go into town and get some bras when you have just given birth? And do I need to take a nursing bra to the hospital when I go into labour?
I know these seem like silly questions but I'm just trying to be as prepared as I can for the things that I can prepare for!

yes bump take a nursing bra with you to hospital. you might not want to bother with it the first day or so but will need it and bf pads when the milk comes in. i think i used a cup size bigger for after the birth - i've already forgotten - but you will prob find nork size ridiculously huge for a week or two. imo it's best to laze around in a nightie etc for the first few weeks and use towels to mop up excess, much more comfortable. i have linked a thread here in which i asked about nursing bras this

Don't get fitted before 37 weeks and only buy a couple. I went from 34dd to 38dd in a week post partum....and the down to 36dd!

Yes take one to the hospital though and LOTS of breast pads.

I changed size a lot when the milk came in so the ones I'd bought before were useless - tried to put a (tiny) bra on to go out and buy more and got blocked ducts so ended up doing a mad dash to Mothercare with no bra despite huge leaky boobs. Hiding them with a newborn in a sling sort of worked as a coat wasn't an option in midsummer. It took me three more months to be able to get to a specialist shop to get one that was actually the right size. Bravado bras are good as they're sort of multi-size so there's a chance of them fitting after.
