Best uplifting non-wired bra?

I'm 10 weeks and still wearing my underwired bras, but my friend said I shouldn't be wearing wired bras, so I'm trying to find a decent plain non wired bra that gives a bit of uplift to my 34es which are likely to grow a bit! I like a t-shirt type bra in white, black or nude that isn't too mumsy...any ideas?

I have tried John Lewis and Bravissimo non-wired maternity bras, but my cup size has gone up to F and my boobs look terrible in them. Saggy and a weird shape and they go up too high so can't wear half my clothes with them.
Am so relieved to hear that it IS possible/ok to wear underwired bras, will definitely try Anita ones.
I feel like I've spent a fortune on trying to buy bras that'll fit right and work for me! I look at my pre-pregnancy bras with wistfulness and longing, but it was a long time ago that they fit me :(

I wore underwired bras throughout pregnancy. If you're still comfortable in them and they fit well then there's no reason not to.

If they aren't comfortable then obviously better to go for whatever is (ie non-wired).

maybe I need to try a different bra from Bravissimo with the underwire.....they are fine for a while then they start to annoy me. I think its cos I am not used to having the bra's so big, if that makes sense, they come up higher at the front, at the side, have bigger straps.......

i did try a Panache non-wire bra (I think the make is Sophie?) and it fit lovely plus looked pretty so I might have to go back......I think I just resent spending so much money as I assume I wont get the wear out of them (and I am still in mourning over the 20 odd matching sets that have all been packed away since 10 weeks!)
