Large busted - Bra help!

[Rooroo1012]

Hey ladies.

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and struggling to contain my boobs!
I was an F cup before pregnancy and have recently gone up to a G, although I reckon the G cup wont last long.

Do I just keep buying the next size up as and when I need to or should I be looking at buying a maternity bra?

Is there a bra that expands with the growth?

I buy my bra's from M&S as they give good support for my big bust but they're pricey. At £23 a pop, its going to get expensive!

Thanks x

I use m and s 2 pack maternity bras in xl size for my f cup boobs they do them in different colours too.

Bras was a big unexpected expense for me in my first pregnancy. You need to be comfortable so need a bra that fits well, and may well need to buy a couple throughout pregnancy. If you can, just buy one in a size (hand wash and dry overnight) to limit the expense as far as you can, or buy a cheapo tesco or primark one to wear for a day or two while you wash the decent one.

Try Bravissimo I love their bras. M&S are notorious on MN for their terrible bra fitting service.

Thank you ladies.
I never bother with M&S bra fittings as they're crap. I usually take a choice of sizes to the changing rooms and do my own fitting! Lol

This is my second pregnancy and my boobs have definitely grown quicker. I didn't have to get a new bra with my first until after the birth when my milk came in. Certainly an extra expense so soon and I still have 5 months to go.

I buy the stretchy sports-type bras from jojo maman bebe. I think they're called Emma Jane or similar. They keep on stretching! Not the best shape under a t-shirt (much like you'd expect from a sports bra), but they're supportive and stretchy for ever changing boobs. I use them thru pregnancy and then in the early weeks until my supply settles and I can get something more structured and a better fit.

I think several places do similar styles. It's an expensive nuisance though hey, having to find special large maternity and nursing bras! Oh to be able to buy a cheap 2 pack of c cup bras from h&m...!

I was a 32G before DD, I got up to a 38J with breastfeeding. Bravissimo was really the only option for me. I could never find a large or x-l general size that fit me. I think proper support is important and it’s not cheap! 20 weeks with DC2 and already buying J cups again! It’s ridiculous.

I also bought some extending fastenings to use towards the end of my pregnancies when my rib cage expanded.
