Bravissimo? They are great.

Anita bras on Amazon. They have underwire ones which I loved as much more supportive.

purpleme12 · 26/09/2018 21:54

Yes bravissimo

Bravissimo or Molke.

Tilliebean · 27/09/2018 08:47

Yep, Bravissimo or Molke. I used Bravissimo last time, went up to 38J! I’m trying Molke this time, I’ve got 2 of their bras so far. I feel like Molke will be better. I’m 38+5 so we will see!

Another vote for the Nursing bra shop

Bravissimo stock the Royce Charlotte nursing bra which goes up to a 40L.

Onlyhappywhenitrains1 · 27/09/2018 09:19

If your looking for cheap, Asda go up to really big sizes, the bras are OK as well quality wise.

CatboySpeed · 27/09/2018 09:36

Bravissimo are great at measuring too, I had been wearing the wrong size bra after giving birth and never knew.

It’s worth using the Boob or Bust website to measure yourself too. And never go to M&S they’re well known for being rubbish at putting women in completely the wrong size.

Spartasprout · 27/09/2018 09:39

Molke are wonderful.

mamaandthegirls · 27/09/2018 09:39

Thanks ladies, I'm due to have my c section TOMORROW! So I'm in a total rush to get something today Grin thanks for all the suggestions x

Molke are incredible.

I have bought these www.marksandspencer.com/2-pack-maternity-padded-full-cup-nursing-bras/p/p60127140?image=SD_02_T33_0738A_T4_X_EC_90&color=GREYMIX&prevPage=plp&pdpredirect.
I have worn them during pregnancy and even now, 9 months after giving birth. They are really easy to use when you breastfeed.
Size XL- is like 42 C or D. Now I have XXL- and is like a 44-46 C or D.

Gorgeous range in Debenhams

northernlass81 · 27/09/2018 16:47

nursingbra-shop.co.uk also gets my vote. The Anita underwired bras are totally amazing and don't give that awful 'mono-boob' that all non-wired nursing bras seem to give. As long as you get the right size, underwired is fine. Super speedy service and returns if they don't fit.

Breen86 · 27/09/2018 17:51

Bravissimo are amazing. Wishing you all the best for the birth. Honestly in the hospital I didn't bother with a bra at all! X

Twistedinknots · 27/09/2018 18:42

Bravissimo are fantastic they know your size by looking and don't use measuring tapes.
I can't rate them highly enough, i'd tip them if I could!

Gillian1980 · 27/09/2018 19:00

I’d order some molke. They are very quick with dispatch so you’ll have them very soon.

cholka · 27/09/2018 22:02

I’d let those babies swing loose to begin with, then maybe a supportive vest - once your boobs have stabilised a bit (!) you can probably just hoik them over the cup of a normal bra. I’m a HH and my boobs destroyed all my maternity bras within a few months. Just went back to normal ones and it was fine. Even a good mat bra is much less supportive than a normal one.

Made to measure. Pricey, but worth it.

HowDoIGetOffTheBus · 30/09/2018 21:23

Molke are amazing and their bras come in fabulous patterns like unicorns and rainbows.
