Bras causing sore nipples

Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy a seamless maternity bra?
All my current ones have seams that cut right across the front of my boobs, right across the nipples and they are getting so sore they are keeping me awake. I am trying breast pads to see if those help but am looking for any better ideas.

Poor you. I suspect it might be a sizing issue as well as the seams that are causing the problem. You could try your local branch of the NCT, lots of branches have a trained Bra Fitter and they are great. You can get some here as well.

Thanks Jilted I have been properly measured by a lovely lady at Triumph and remeasured at Debenhams with the same outcome so I'm happy with that. Its an issue that I actually had before getting pg to be honest and it might be to do with the size of the girls (34FF at the last count). However I cant understand why noone else seems to have the same issue...I dont think I'm deformed or anything. Has noone else been botherd by the line of the seams in the front of bras?

34FF. at that one Jasmine. Think I'm more at the other end of the measuring scale.

Were there any suitable ones on the NCT website?

Please dont be jealous jilted - they are a handicap believe me, especially for someone who used to run every day...and once they deflate they are going to trip me over! I tried breast pads yesterday and they worked fine...but annoying that I have to use them. I'll check out the NCT site - Ive used my budget up at the moment but if they get any bigger (noooooooo) then when I buy another new set of scaffolding bra I'll have a look there

Yes I know what you mean.

I am a 38 F pre-pregnant and got that problem before (apparently my 'natural bounce!) and its worse now they are growning! I think I got my last one from figleaves and M&S do an extra comfort range.

Thanks cowboy will have a look there too. Bit worried about my 'natural bounce'...sounds like a recipe for black eyes and bruised bump! Breast pads giving some relief atm
