My pregnant friend needs a nice supportive bra for her size 54 DD boobs...

[SleepyJess]

..and only place she seems to be able to find one is by ordering from the US.. and paying £50!!!!! (She has not done this, unsurprisingly!)

That can't be right can it??! Surely other larger ladies whose boobs have grown even more due to pregnancy.. and who need support due to tenderness in boob area... need to buy bras???

I told her I was coming straight to MN.. and that they would have advice! :) She has tried all the usual places to get maternity bras. She is only 18 weeks so needs to get this sorted!!

Thanking you in advance..

Hi Debz! Is there any way you could get to London? Because Rigby and Peller would be the best place to go to - they will find you the perfect bra and can work to most budgets. I am completely smitten with R & P, the staff are lovely (and are all shapes and sizes themselves, no snooty twiglets) and their ability to assess exactly what size you are at a glance is legendary!

I could get to London but the whole thing is working out to be rather expensive £20 on train then the payment for bra ... lunch .... drinks etc mmm beginning to sound attractive lol ! Don't really fancy going to London being PG and travelling on the tube is not my cup of tea !!!

Yeah but you and DP could maybe make it a day out when he's in town couldn't you? He could stand like a "bump guard" on the tube and you could buy a couple of bras to make it worth the trip... it does sound a good service!

Or could you make him drive? (DH will no longer negotiate London at all by road.. and obviously I won't!!.. )

Not sure what your abreviations mean SJ !!!!! Assume you mean Steve and not a chance will he negoiate London by car the M25 is bad enough for him LOL I took him to London once and he hated every minute of it, oh these northerners .... LOL

DP means Darling Partner.. DH Darling Husband (or dear.. whatever).. full list of MN acronyms at the top of the page.. second one of 'useful stuff'.

[No not had anything summer-related from SNAAP yet Fio (she says uncertainly, picturing unfiled/unread paperwork littering various parts of house..).. but the summers hols are really filling up.. I am exhausted already just looking at calendar. "Holidays".. pah! Yeah right...]

You could do with a holiday Clare just bite the bullett and book something worry about how you're gonna pay for it later Lol !!!! Mmmm .... take a leaf out my own book I could do with one too LOL !

[We are going away for a few days in the caravan of a Musmnetter Deb.. so we're getting away don't worry.. :))

Oooohhhh get you and your contacts LOL !
