Pregnancy bras - need advice

Hi, I'm 17 weeks pregnant and not showing in my tummy yet and still in my size 8-10 clothes. My breasts on the other hand have ballooned from a 32d to a 34ff and I'm finding it impossible to get a comfy bra to fit. Im ok for my midweek/work bras but these are not comfy to wear at weekend when i want more of a slouchy vest/sports bra style (non underwired). M&S, john lewis, mothercare...in fact anything on the first page of a google search...have failed me and I resort to wearing tight vests on the weekends as my old sports bars are way too small. But I'm thinking I can't carry on going bra-less for too long, its feeling bloody uncomfortable & heavy. Can anyone please, please recommend somewhere I can try for some decent quality, comfy vest/sports style bras that come in actual cup sizes??

I was a 32G at my biggest and got nursing bras (which are not underwired) from both M&S and mothercare - it might be worth looking at the nursing bra range?

i found debenhams to be really good for their maternity and nursing bras had a lovely shop assistant who measured me properly and spent plenty of time finding different bras to fit me perfectly! this was after being measured in m n s and living in a bra that was in fact too big and gave no support whatsoever! but every shop assistant is different but that was my experience couldn't recommend debenhams highly enough

Try Bravissimo

Seriously consider looking at Bravado bras. I have large boobs and have been wearing them since the end if my second trimester and now I am nursing. Very comfortable and surprisingly supportive.

I've had the same as you - went from 32E to 34FF by 15 weeks - and didn't want to invest in nursing bras in case I ballooned anymore (last time went to a 36G at 36 weeks). I have found a brand called Hot Milk, www.hotmilklingerie.com/storefinder, who are great as the back has 6 fastenings to allow for extra expansion later on, and are pretty enough that they don't leave you feeling like a dairy cow for having bigger boobs.

Try the Bravado nursing range. I had really painful breasts and nipples, so bought the bravado silk bra which comes in small, medium, large, etc so hopefully will last throughout my pregnancy and after.
