Bra recommendations (sore boobs...)

Hi ladies
I'm 13 weeks and have very sore boobs which have already gone up at least a cup size. I have a range of bra sizes due to weight loss but now left to only 2 left in my largest size and I don't think it will be long until I need to get new ones.

I am however completely baffled by maternity bra options and if I'm honest don't want to fork out loads if they carry on at the same rate I'm going to need to change bras every 8 weeks (hoping they slow down...)

Any recommendations for comfy bras for sore boobs? I'm very used to underwiring but confused by if I should switch to non or not!

I personally switched to non underwired bras at about that time with dd. The underwired can damage the tissue when your boobs are fluctuating sizes so much in pregnancy.
I pretty much lived in a sports bra and some regular non wired t shirt bras from asda or tesco or something until I needed to fork out on a breast feeding bra or three.
Its handy to get used to the non wired too, no bf bra will have it, or padding.
I got so used to it i dreaded the idea of going back to wires!

Hotmilk, - they have 6 sets of hooks in the back so you get more time out of 1 size. See if you can get away with a size bigger cup than you are currently to give yourself some growing room?

Hadn't heard of hotmilk before thanks
I'm going to get measured next week something which I hate but I have no idea what size at the moment.
I'm currently wearing a 34 C but not comfortably at all.
yes a cup size up is a good idea. Smile
