Darcie that would make you a 32 D!

The support comes from the back strap of the bra, which is your under the bust measurement. The cup size is calculated by the difference between the two measurements. In your case, 4 inches = D cup.

32 back strap is often a bit tight, so consider a bra extender until it loosens in the wash a bit, or if you go up a back size to a 34, try a smaller cup i.e. C cup.

Hope this helps, but ideally do see if you can get properly fitted - bras vary from manufacturer to manufacturer a bit like shoes, so it might be different depending on the style you choose.

This video gives a good fitting guide. It doesn't tell you how to calculate your cup size though.

You should just be able to fit your hand into the cup with your breast in a nursing bra, to allow for expansion with milk!
