monoboob trouble with maternity bras

I'm currently around 7 weeks pregnant and my boobs have gone from G to H and after reading that I shouldn't be wearing under wired bras right now I'm having a hell of a time finding one that doesn't squash me into a big uniboob.
Does anyone have any suggestions for good brands that don't do this or is it just something I'll have to get used to as a now size H and possible bigger as time goes on?

Underwired are ok still as long as they are properly fitted, ie the wire does not dig into your breast and is flat on your ribs.

Hello, I'm 13 weeks and had exactly the same problem a few weeks back. I've bought myself a non-wired sports bra that isn't too mono-boob and is supportive, and a larger version of my favourite pre-pregnancy underwired bra. Normal non-wired maternity bras were a complete non-starter because the shape was hopeless...

Thanks, I'll get myself a better fitted bra and maybe look into a sports one :-)

I ended up getting refitted twice. If you want to keep wearing wires like me you do need to be prepared to be buy more than one set. But I think it is worth it to avoid monoboob.
Have you tried bravissimo? They specialise in big boobs and have great fitters

Just wear properly fitted wires. The non-wired bra which doesn't give monoboob is yet to be invented.

I would take your problem to the bra threads in Style and Beauty. Those ladies changed my life. I am 9 weeks and still in wired bras.
