Breastfeeding bras

[kittypower]

I'm 34B and finding it really hard to find a breastfeeding bra - they all seem to start at C cup. The only ones I have found are so ugly, they are massive big things (which seems odd seeing as the problem is my boobs seem to be too small!!!)

Any advice?

Thanks Muppetgirl and ejt1764. It's true, I've been totally preoccupied with how horrendous labour will be but as the big day looms closer I'm starting to get more worried about all the stuff afterwards (will breastfeeding hurt, how will I cope with permanent sleep deprivation, what if I don't like my baby?! etc).

I remember my mum telling me that no one had warned her that bf hurt. She's assumed it was this wonderful, natural, easy thing and got a nasty shock when her milk came in!

ejt1764, I'm in London so there are a couple of Bravissimo shops. I'm not sure they're all they're cracked up to be TBH. They always seem to have a crap selection of sizes and it's nigh on impossible to get a fitting. They're always too busy.

It's a shame the shops aren't up to much - I've used bravissimo for years and have always been really impressed with their service - mind you, they don't have any shops near me, so I have to use the online service!

Do you have any independent maternityh shopes near you - if you do, then they will do a measuring service - when I was pg with ds, I went to get myself measured there, and found myself feeling really mothered ... unfortunately the shop has now closed down - I think the lady doing it must have retired.

Can also only second what muppetgirl has said - make sure you know what to do and where to get help - make sure you have the nct and lll helpline numbers to hand - and get details of your local breastfeeding support group - I didn't hook up with my local one, but friends of mine who did found it invaluable!
