Nursing/Maternity Bra Size

I'm pg with DC2. Last time I didn't get nursing/maternity bras until after DS1 was born and my milk had come in. I went to M&S to get measured and they said I'd need to get 34D (non-pregnant I'm a 34B). They fit fine pre-weaning but once DS1 started on solids my boobs didn't fill them out completely anymore (I bf until he was around 14 months).

I've gone bra-less for most of my 1st & 2nd trimester (having something tight just under my breasts made sickness worse and gave me a stomach ache), however at 26w I am now feeling I want some more support. I'm now wearing some 34C non-maternity bras (and can feel the wires digging in, ouch).

I was looking at www.nursingbra-shop.co.uk (found the link on another thread here) and their bras are gorgeous! But I'm not sure what size to get? Should I go for 34C which would fit now but likely won't once DS2 is born? Or 34D now? Can I expect my 'boob growth trajectory' (Grin) to be similar this pregnancy?

Please share your experience/wisdom!

Can you post your under- and overbust measurements here? M&S is notorously bad at fitting and yout wires are probably digging in because you've been in the wrong size ever since.

There are some bras on that website that are quite flexible in size to accommodate fluctuations. Think it's the bravado original I've got

HazleNutt sorry I have no idea! The bra I'm wearing isn't from M&S. I bought these during my last pregnancy before I got measured, it was just a few cheap ones from NewLook that I got to tide me over

Thanks for that link, that's really helpful! I'm going to try and find a tapemeasure and measure later.

I've gone bra less too for the same reson, am now wearing mothercare sleep bras which I'll stay in until my milk comes in (or continue with if I can). They come in small medium or large and are very comfy
