Bra size during pregnancy & bf

[AngelDog]

I?m 30 wks pg with DC2. At my biggest point with DS1, I was a 36F. Now I seem to be needing an even bigger cupsize.

How likely is it that I get even bigger after the birth? I think last time I was 36D/E during pg.

I?m trying to decide whether to get a couple of cheap & nasty bras now, or whether to get something decent in the hope that I?ll get some wear out of it after baby arrives. Our budget is tight so I can?t really do both.
I did go down at least a cup size after the first year or so.

DS still bf?s, and I?m planning on tandem feeding him & the baby, in case that makes any difference.

Go to Mothercare, get them to advise and measure as late on as possible. Buy one from them then the rest on line. Don't cut the tags on anything till you know that you are definately breastfeeding. I fed DS for a year but DD for 13 days, and so was left with a stack of useless catflap bras.

Thanks. :)

Definitely possible. I'm sick of them growing. Even when I lose weight

Very possible. Once upon a time at the beginning of my pregnancy I was re-fitted for a bra and had gone from an F to FF. By the end of my pregnancy I was in a G or GG cup. Yesterday, 4 1/2 months post birth, I went back to bravissimo and came away with a HH soft nursing bra and a H cup normal bra. One day I will have nice boobs again and also lose 3 stone of weight and be back to 32E like I used to be :(

Oh, and get the cheap ones to start with, its not like you'll be out much in the first couple of weeks anyway. A good one I have is the Bravado ++ - it is like a sports bra and your cup size is not so much of an issue. You would probably need a Medium ++ or perhaps a Large if you are more like a 38 than a 36.

Thanks.

DH would quite like my expansion in chest size if he weren't slightly put off by me being first pg, then bf'ing!
