I just can't wear a bra

My breasts are fine but my stomach feels ike it has been pushed up between them and I just feel sick when I wear one. Same happened in my previous pregnancies. Am only 9 weeks and not been wearing a bra for a week and whilst this has been fine (I am large 0 about 38 c/d but don't care re wobble or shape) but just not sure I can get away with this for next 7 months. Any tips other than buy bra so big it has no effect so no point

Sainsburys have some really good soft stretchy ones that I used when I was at home/in bed etc. I can't remember what they're called but they were only £5, so maybe worth trying one out to see if that helps?

I've been wearing soft cropped top type things I bought from asda, they don't offer much support but stop too much jiggling! There's no space between my bump and boobs for a bra and the strap was cutting me in half.

These bras have been amazing throughout my pregnancy. I was having exactly the same problem as you. I bought one of these in a "large" (I'm a size 14/16 and 38 D) and oh my goodness I can't imagine wearing a normal bra at the minute!

I would heartily recommend a brand called Bravado - they do a style called the Silk that the ridiculously comfortable, and also has nursing clips. I still wear mine now, and I'm no longer pregnant or nursing!!

I've been wearing these I love them, anything else drives me crazy. Comfy to sleep in to.

I had this problem, i was so uncomfortable. First time round, I wore a lot of the comfy, slouchy sports crop tops described above. Second time round I got a couple of Anita bras that looked like this

Sexy they were not, but they were very comfy. Can you get to a good independent bra fitter who can sort you out? Mine was a lifesaver! She specialised in nursing bras so was a bit of expert. Seriously love that lady Grin
