Maternity bra that won’t make me feel sick

14 weeks and boobs are huge: estimate I’ve gone from c to f cup in about 8 weeks. Morning sickness is rampant and pressure from bra band on upper stomach is not helping. Is there such a thing as a supportive crop top or pregnancy bra which is not too constrictive in this area? I’ve been going braless when I can but I’m too conscious of my boobs being very low and unruly without a bra that I can’t really go out in public like that!

I just bought a Molke bra after reading about them on here and it’s very much more comfortable and soft than a regular bra. I would recommend you try one. They are designed for any woman’s breasts but would work well for breast feeding because of the way they’re designed.

My boobs doubled from about 8 weeks so I went to M&S and bought a sleeping type bra. It's not wired and I bought extendable clips too as I hated feeling that my bra was too tight. Was so comfy I went back and bought loads.
They won't be good for nursing afterwards but they've definitely got me through the sore boobs. I'm now 20 weeks and no longer sleeping in the bra but if I go a few hours without wearing one they ache so much!
Hope you get sorted 😊

They were only £16 too which for an M&S bra I thought was really reasonable!

www.seraphine.com/en-gb/seraphine-bamboo-nursing-bras-twin-pack.html I have five of these - not much worry about sizing because the band has so many settings so accommodates when you grow. Wore about the last third of pregnancy and now using when breastfeeding.

I wore the Crop top bra things too. They were perfect for breastfeeding, but then I didn't go in for all that expensive clothes with hidden trap-doors, I just hiked up my tee shirt.

Not maternity-specific, but the Anya from John Lewis is fantastically comfortable.

For a start do the Boob or Bust calculator so you know how big you are, tell it you’re pregnant so if factors that in. booborbust.com/

Molke might well be a good option for you

Brilliant suggestions - thank you everyone!
The calculation will be really useful too!
