Nursing bra

OK, I'm sure this has been done to death but I can't find a good link.

I'm 35 wks and measuring 34/44, I'm assuming my back size willl go back to a 32 after the birth. Should I also assume that my boobs will go up 2 cup sizes to a measurement of 46 (i'm hoping to bf and was a 32GG before I got preg).

So 32/46 = 32JJ

(I can't go to get measured.)

Thanks

Forgot to say, I also have very small shoulders so always wear multiway or racer back normal bras, can you get these in nursing bras?

My back size took a few months to go back down. And have been three cup sizes bigger.

I would go for a couple of stretchy nursing bras then get measured a couple of weeks after baby is born.

I needed a 34hh at 2 weeks and 32hh after a few months. But when measured during pregnancy they tried to give me a 38f!

I wouldn't assume!! I was a 32B/C pre pregnancy. Went up to a 34d when pregnant then when my milk came in I was a 34 F. Am now 8 weeks in and thinking about getting refitted. Bra shopping all the time!Grin

Indeed... I was a 30B pre-pregnancy, went to a 30DD by about 20 weeks and a 30/32F when my milk came in! I'm still an 30E at 10 months.

I did not expect quite such a dramatic change in size... And now have a whole alphabet of different bras available!

Would second the stretchy nursing bras suggestion, especially if you fluctuate a lot between feeds. The Bravado seamless ones are great and stretch with you.
