Best maternity bras?

Just tried an Isabella Oliver one but not supportive enough. Do I have to resort to the ginormous Elle McPherson?

I got a pack of 2 from m&s and they seem OK. Just bought a feeding one from figleaves by bravado for 4 weeks time. I'm no little one either, size 42F, although I'm the same size as I was before I was pregnant!

Hi cupcakes
I still have an elle macpherson one from last time, and it is fantastic and money well spent. I also bought mothercare ones and they were dreadful.

I have ordered 2 from Bravissimo as I really need the wired support but need the best unwired bra. Have paid £56 for 2 so they better be good
I'm quite a big cup size so M+S are no good for me as the back straps ride up

As well as their maternity bras M&S do a "Total Support" range with some very comfortable non-underwired bras for those of us who are getting huge... I went for one with plain cotton jersey type cups - looks a bit like a sports bra for day to day wear and a relatively smooth line under my too-tight T-shirts! The lady in the fitting room also said that sports bras are popular in pregnancy. They have a new bra in their maternity range which is lined in cotton but with some lacy trim which looks more atttractive than most.

I don't normally fit M&S bras so didn't consider there - but maybe I should give it another go.
I remember having a Mothercare one years ago which was rubbish.

Does the Elle Mac one feel really huge? I'm a bit put off by the thought of having to have all the feeding straps so soon (I'm 18 weeks).

Has anyone tried JoJoMaman? I just got their new catalogue and they have some really pretty ones - lace or rose print.
