Bra troubles

[ACM88]

Hey all- I need some advice!!

I'm 17weeks exactly, and my breasts are out of control, and getting bigger!! I've gone from B-C cup in less than two weeks, I've taken out under wires and padding, but it's too uncomfortable now.

My question is do I buy one now, or do I leave it a few weeks? Surely they will get bigger??

Have you measured properly (and not been fitted by m & s?) as you may be wearing the wrong size in the first place.

thebetterbracampaign.blogspot.co.uk/p/fitting-advice.html - tells you how to measure

Ooh I've only ever been measured by m&s

Try the Bodysilk seamless nursing bras - I tried them on a Mumsnet recommendation. They're shaped but very stretchy and cover a lot of sizes. I got them at about 15 weeks, so far they have fitted through 2nd and 3rd trimesters and will hopefully be suitable for the early days of feeding, until my milk supply/size stabilises a bit, at which point I will get properly measured again.

Thank you, really appreciate reccomendation!

Jess i think youve just saved me starting my own thread on plus sized (im fat not too big breasted) sleep bras. Thank you.

I have also directly jumped to nursing bras which are 2 sizes more than my usual. They are quite stretchy & should last a year or so I suppose.

I started off as 32d I'm now 20 weeks pregnant and 32g. I literally go up every couple of weeks and am close to tears everytime I go in the changing rooms. I'm a size 10 and quite slim really but this is seriously putting me off more children. I hate the thought of them getting any bigger... Also debating whether breast feeding will reduce them quicker as people say the more milk the baby takes, the more you produce....

It's really painful isn't it??

I've never been huge breasted,but the rapid growth is awful. Yes if you bf I don't think they will get smaller, not for ages anyway!!

I will definitely look into maternity bra!

Genii bras! £15 for a three pack. Or the similar cheap stretchy bra / crop top things from BHS or similar. Been in agony from 5 weeks and they're so comfy. Now at 18 weeks it's my nipples that are sooooo painful. And I keep getting twinges of pain deep in my boobs.

I started as a 32DD (post MN bra-intervention size) and I dread to think what size I am now! I need to buy a 'proper' bra for an upcoming wedding, so I guess I'll find out. The stretchy bras have fitted all the way through.
