Is there any point buying nursing bras before hand (2nd time around)

Even though I am only 29 weeks I have had a little look at nursing bras, seeing if I can get anything in the sales.

From my experience last time, I got measures somewhere between 32-36 weeks I think and bought some nursing bras then theese fitted me at the time but the size of my breasts changed so much once my milk came in and it didnt really settle down until 3-4 months maybe later. I then went and bought more nursing bras they actually fitted and lasted until when I finished breastfeeding. Now I dont think my back size is different at all. Wondering from my past experience wether to use the existing bras I already have then buy more when everything settles down (all being well). Anyone done this before, dd is only 2.

Ive bought some of those one size fits all types. Just to keep me going until mu boobs settle and decide what size they want to be. They are almost like crop tops. I got mine from carriwell.

If you still have the nursing bras from last time, I would just go with them. I'm still breastfeeding DD who is 17 months wearing the same ones as when she was newborn, I'm pregnant with No 2 and I'm just going to buy more of the same

I've just bought a few Emma Jane ones, they're like the carriwell ones, but cheaper - c.£10 each.

This is my second, too, but my first lot of nursing bras were rubbish and not coming anywhere near me this time.

I've also heard great things about the Bravado ones, but at £25 each, I want to make sure bf goes to plan before I splash out.

I have bought a very stretchy sleep bra thing for the first week or two until my milk has settled down a bit, it looks like a sports bra but with drop cups. As long as it keeps boobs/breast pads in place it will do the job, I'll get out to the shops to get a proper one once baby is feeding well and I no longer have porn star chest

I kept the same ones, although my boobs didn't quite reach the dizzy heights of the first time round. I also went back into normal bras more quickly because I hated the bf bra look.
