Maternity/nursing bras

Hey ladies, so I'm currently 24+4 with my first. My bra size at the moment is a 34GG/H depending on the brand. Basically I am looking for some comfortable/supportive nursing bras for bigger boobs that aren't going to cost me the earth. I get really frustrated browsing for bras online as I can guarantee the ones I like are never in my size, or they dont even do my size! I'm currently living in a sports bra I purchased from Matalan but it's slowly getting too tight for me and isn't particularly flattering to say the least.

Thank you in advance! X

@ I have similar problem with yours.

I would say I have tried a couple from Asda, bigger size, and are quite small, won't fit me properly after birth.

I found Bravado has a good one I adore, I don't buy it from their website but from eBay, new.

I had a couple from Mothercare but I found my breasts will pop out on the inside, I don't like that. I like a bra that holds everything in.

@R2D2abc I'm the same, I need a completely supportive bra, one that essentially goes right under my armpit if you get me? But then they tend to be the really ugly, frumpy ones! I'll check out eBay for Bravado!!

I got mine from hot milk. Really comfy and supportive. They were also really helpful with sizing. I ended up emailing them as I wasn't sure and they asked for my measurements and they confirmed which size to get. just had a quick look on the website and they have a few for sale too.

@RedPanda25 I will drop them an email myself. I have been seeing Hot Milk advertised a lot recently!

Molke. I’m bigger than you and they’re crazy comfy and supportive.

I have used a wired bra through my pregnancy from Bravissimo (36Hh). I've just ordered a maternity bra from them yesterday so I am hoping that it is just as comfy/flattering.

Not cheap, but well worth the investment, are Molke bras. Hands down the most supportive bra of any kind and so much better than most nursing bras. I'm a 30J not pregnant, and at least a H when pregnant/feeding and they are fab.
