At 10 weeks I’ve now completely outgrown the 32B bras I’ve been wearing since forever.

Yesterday I went to Mothercare, the smallest back size they had was a 34”, and the 34B and 34C were both far too big. So I went to M&S, and tried on a 32C and something that was supposed to stretch from 32-40 and could only just get them done up on the loosest setting so won’t fit for long once I start to get bigger.

I decided to go home and measure myself, and I’m 31” underbust and 35.5” overbust so I’d have thought 32C or even D was a decent guesss, but I’ve no idea where to buy from since the M&S 32C was so tight.

At the rate my boobs are growing this will only last me a couple of months so don’t want to spend a lot, any advice on what’s going on or where to buy from?

Try the boob or bust calculator

Look at molke online. Love their bras (admittedly I have big boobs) but I know other people have loved them too and because they are more like a crop top type bra they have enough stretch to last through some changes. Bit pricey but if you get the size right they should last.

Thanks both.

I’ve checked boob or bust, it suggests a 32DD Shock. Think I might just need to order a range of sizes somewhere with free returns!

I bought a pack of three bra extensions for a few pounds from Amazon or eBay, I think, which give an extra couple of inches in the back and meant I didn't need to shell out on loads of new bras. I did buy a few, mostly Mothercare and John Lewis, but they were all nursing bras so were useful later too.

I bought my maternity bras from eBay. They've yet to arrive so dont know if their any good yet. Maybe try online.
