Maternity bras - what am I doing?

[AcademicNerd]

Hi all, I could do with some maternity bra advice.

I am currently 35w pregnant, and my bra cups still fit my boobs but the band is too tight now. I'm feeling mobile, and I am keen to get down the shops and buy a couple bras while I can still move independently.

I want to get some of these bras that you can unclip the strap on and get your boob out for a feed, but quite a few of these seem to come in s/m/l sizes instead of cups. Given I'm (currently) about a 34C, and I can't predict what size I'll get when my milk comes in, how do I go about picking a bra size?

I have an M&S voucher I'm keen to use, so if you have any experience/thoughts about their maternity bras I'd be keen to hear.

Thanks in advance.

Can you get one of the back extender thingies for now so what you have will last til you can assess what you need rather than a bit of a stab in the dark?

(and some nursing bras do actually come with proper sizing i.e. backs and cups)

I bought some iLoveSIA maternity/nursing bras off of Amazon. They are AMAZING! Next day delivery of you have prime, so comfy and very stretchy so I think they'll last. 3 for £20! Have great reviews too, so it's not just me. Massively recommend!

Nursing bras in Mothercare all have cup sizes from what I've seen ☺

I really recommend the M&S nursing bras; started wearing these while I was pregnant and they are so comfy. I am also around 34C and got the medium size. This was fine from 30 weeks pregnant and still perfect now (DD 6 weeks old). I find my size fluctuates a lot during the day. I just have gone up to about an F/G cup when milk first came in but have settled down again now. These are comfy at night too - I have to wear a bra overnight or get covered in milk!

Thanks all, off to M&S later!

I have the same ones as Vincent and love them. I'm tempted to keep wearing them once I'm not BF!

I got a couple of cheap ones from primark, but they annoyed me, so I just wore normal bras. I wasn't breastfeeding so i didn't need to worry about that.
Mothercare seem to have a good selection from what I saw while wandering round though
