What are the best bra brands for comfortable support throughout pregnancy?

I have very modest B cup boobs and have never had to think much about bras - could just buy any old M&S thing and be fine. But now it feels like things need a bit more support! Have resorted to soft sports bras for now as my usual underwired T-shirt bras are driving me nuts.

I was 34b (c with pmt!) 24 weeks and they are massive! Ive actually found matalans maternity/nursing bras to be the most comfortable, the cotton is really soft against sore boobies and they do feel really supportive. Measure yourself though according to thier size chart - I am in a 34 DD atm and will most likely need to go bigger soon xx

Thanks! Will try them... I've been a very consistent size all my life and am now 36, so these changes are going to be very strange!

I bought 2 Debenhams maternity bras when I was pregnant, and they were very comfortable and lasted throughout my pregnancy

I went up from 36 B to 36DD through 4 weeks to 30 weeks.
Debenhams and mothercare ones are comfortable and reasonable but not pretty.

No way I'd have managed with just one set though as while the back size hasn't changed the actual coverage and support requirement has increased massively. And if I do put a pre pregnancy bra on now, just for a giggle, it's rather amusing how little they cover. As DH keeps reminding me I did say I wanted bigger boobs. Not sure I do now

Ahem 4- 20 weeks. They stopped about that point and have been DD since then (now 35+ 2 )

OH MY GOODNESS - I have always had such small boobs, I can't imagine having big ones! We're in for a bouncy ride...!

I second matalan sports, non-wired and crop top bras. Really comfy! I have also gone from 36B to 38 moon-size monsters. My OH is scared of them. Whats worse is they are 80% nipple Hmm. I am 23 weeks and no sign of growth stopping either.
