somewhere to buy a nursing bra in central london

[padi]

Hi
i'm 32 weeks and getting awful backache. Think i need yet more and bigger bras but should get a nursing one as i'm so close to due date. Does anyone know of anywhere to get fitted for a nursing bra in central London?
cheers!

Mothercare opposite Selfridges. Maybe John Lewis?

John Lewis on Oxford Street- good old fasioned customer service very helpful

Blooming Marvellous have a store at the top of Regent St, by Oxford street. Or JL.

DL stock Elle Macpherson stuff, which is fab.

rigby and pellar on conduit street just off regent street. Fab! They can do it just by looking. and if you need more you can just ring them and they'll post them out with free postage.

if you get the right (usually older) women at JL they're marvellous...they don't normally measure you just squint at your norks and bring in a few for you to try...

I mean't JL stock Elle Macpherson. Wouldn't do R&P for maternity bras.

great - ta v much!

Rigby and Peller, Knightsbridge. That's where I'd be if I could afford it.

If you are on the larger size - Bravissimo in Cov Gdn

Why not good old fashioned M&S ??

Don't trust M&S measuring. JL much better IMO, esp for maternity bras. JL has better selection of brands too.

John Lewis do a maternity bra for about £7 which is perfectly acceptable. Don't know what you are like but my bra size changed totally as soon as I gave birth and my milk came in. I went from a 34DD to 32F so you may be better waiting and getting nursing bra once you have had the baby.

Another vote for Rigby and Peller on Conduit Street, especially if you have big boobs.

I don't think Rigby & Peller DO nursing bras at all, do they?

They did three years ago Aloha, that's where I got mine from and they didn't blink at my hugeness AND they had the right size in stock which was v nice feeling.

might not be much point getting one now. mothercare wouldn't measure me till 36 weeks (or was it 36). Tbh their bras are rubbish, but anyway, I was MUCH bigger than they predicted so only get a couple till you see hwhat size you're gonna pan out.

Oh merrymarigold yes, you are right now I come to think of it. They do something like estimate a back-size down and a cup-size up for the nursing ones, so they wouldn't fit you now padi.

oops, meant perhaps it wasn't till 38 weeks that they measured me. in fact, i think it was 38 weeks. i went from a 36C to a 34DD/ E
