I’m 4 months pregnant and boobs are getting bigger.
When do I buy new bras? How do I know what size (don’t want to buy then have to replace in 2 months)

Thanks!

Following along. Hit 12 weeks yesterday and the scan was great so I feel able to buy new clothes. Current bras are barely able to contain them.

I bought some cheap non underwired ones from primark (about £5 or £6 each) when I started busting out what I had before. I also bought some bra extenders.

I'm 26 weeks now and am just starting to look at maternity/nursing bras as I think my boobs have finally stopped growing, I just don't want to spend a lot of money on them and then find boobs have grown even more. I will probably buy some in a couple of weeks.

Im up at cupsize at 20weeks.

At 14weeks they exploded lol. I just got some cheap sports bras from sports direct.

I bought some bra extenders from Amazon, £5 for various sizes (ie 2 and 3 clasps) in white, black and nude), which kept me going until about 22 weeks. Really recommend that!

I bought a few cheap ones at 8 weeks as things were growing...bought new ones from Hotmilk about 4 months and they have been amazing. Really pretty and comfy.

I know the feeling!!
Went for a measurement at the weekend at m&s and was suprised as only thing had changed was the size of the band! 🙊
Not loving the boulder holders😂 but must be done soon as my underwire bras are so uncomfortable! 🙈😂😂

I got a maternity bra at around 22 weeks. It’s from Mothercare and is quite comfortable but doesn’t keep it’s shape as well as it should.

Mummy
M&S are notoriously rubbish at bra measuring.
Check your size on Boob or Bust before buying. Bravissimo are also good for fitting.
In my case my boobs grew a lot in the first trimester but not after that. So I only bought new bras once during the pregnancy (and if you get stretchy/non-wired they can cope with a bit of fluctuation).

Cannot believe how expensive they are m&s were like £30 for two not exactly what I want to be paying right before Christmas going to try and leave it till after Christmas will be 5 months then and buy some decent ones. x
