Ebay. I bought all of my maternity bras from ebay.

Not padded, but I'm a big fan of anita underwired maternity bras, available at figleaves. On the pricey side, but very comfy. Wait for a 20% off code!

You can wear normal bras right up until you start feeding.

I've just been fitted at bravissimo. Only 16 weeks and gone from a 34E/F to a 36GG!

I've had an own brand one and a Freya one. The Freya gives a much nicer shape than the bravissimo one. They weren't cheap-around £30 each. But with bigger boobs you'll know that bras are normally more expensive anyway.

echo the love ebay comment! Get measured locally and then go shopping online for a bargain!

But don't make the mistake of going to M&S for cheap ones because you know you'll grow out of them again. Outrageously uncomfortable!

I must admit that I've never bothered with maternity bras, but have made sure that my bra's fit well and are very comfy. Debenhams were fab and had some lovely bra's a couple of weeks ago, though my boobs are rocketing up in size and think I may be needing to go again. Sale bra's were very reasonable, in fact it all worked out cheaper than M&S [which are rubbish].

I did have breastfeeding bras, which I was in the largest cup for my chest band. Anita labels are US, so the UK equivalent is a cup size smaller, was excited when I thought I could get myself a J cup, then the note on figleaves about sizing said the above. Very annoying. They all gave me unaboob and was sweaty and uncomfy and not greatly supportive. I won't order online as the fit really varies, I would pop into store to try something on.

I am mainly a Freya bra wearer but have some comfy Debenhams own label and a few Panache.

splinters I ended up with sores in my underarm area from wearing poor fitting m&s bra's as a stop gap filler. The quality of their bra's is terrible these days, the fit is poor and inconsistent.

Thanks all for that.
Im only 7 weeks gone lol. Usual size is 38e.
I will look into alls of your recommendations ta x
