Good bra during pregnancy?

[Bubble8]

Hi ladies,

I am wondering if any of you have any suggestions on which bra might be best during pregnancy? I have been looking online And obviously all say that they are great! Some personal views, recommendations would help a lot.

I'm perfectly happy with the mothercare ones I've bought. They're not under wired but they hoik me up enough. I've gone from. 32c to a 34dd and each bra along the way I've got from mothercare. I have to admit that I've only got one working bra at a time which I wear everyday. (I do wash and dry overnight!) as I can't be doing spending out nearly £20 on a bra and getting several.

I found that the mothercare non unwired really comfy.. They put me in the right place being a large size anyway (f atm).

Normal underwired bras in the right size.

normal bras, just sizing up as needed.

Thanks everyone!

I looked at the mothercare unwired support bras too. They do have good reviews. I'll probably invest in one of these.

I read that wired bras may cut of the blood flow, hence why I am now worried on having the right bra! I do want to look after my assets

www.hotmilklingerie.com/HotMilk shop around as you can get good deals but these were the best ones I ever found

Hi all, I'm only eight weeks and my boobs are massive already! Should I buy a maternity bra now or can I expect them to grow even more!? Do I just get my pre-pregnancy bra size or do I need to get re-measured?

Bubble - That isn't true and is lazy advice given by people who can't fit bras properly (M&S, Mothercase, I am looking at you).

A badly fitted underwired bra can press on breast tissue as your breasts grow and cause blocked ducts, etc.

A well fitted bra is not a problem at all. Indeed, if you are well endowed it is far, far better than bouncing about for months on end. There are only two issues with wearing a properly fitted underwire in pregnancy:

1. You need to be prepared to buy a new bra if it stops fitting. If you change shape/size frequently, this can get expensive.

1. Some people find that, as their bump gets bigger, the bump presses into the underneath of the underwire and gets uncomfortable. I had this with my first pregnancy, but not 2 or 3. For about the last 6 weeks.

The same goes for nursing bras actually.

it's totally fine to wear wired bras during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. In fact, if you have bigger than average bras, those non wired maternity and nursing bras simply won't offer enough support.
if possible, go get fitted somewhere where they know what they are doing, like Bravissimo. (not mothercare or M&S)

crossed posts with Penguin, basically what she said.

Cross post HazleNutt. But you were far more concise.

Bravado body silk seamless! I don't wear any others since getting a couple of these.
