How soon did you go up a bra size?

Hi everyone I'm only six weeks pregnant but my boobs looks and feel like they've doubled in size! All my bras are tight, pinching and so uncomfortable! Is this normal? Is it worth buying a load of bras now or god will they get bigger? 😫 also how do you know what size to get when the shops are shut and you can't try anything on?!

I had to size up by the end of my first trimester, and again now I’m 21 weeks. I invested in a couple of Molkes - expensive, not the prettiest but I find them mega supportive and they cover a few sizes so should stretch with me to accommodate any extra growth! I’ve gone up a band size and 3-4 cup sizes so far. They also are nursing bras so will be handy post pregnancy too!

I am 10 weeks and really struggling with this. The Molkes do look comfortable - I might try them @swiftt.

I had found some on Amazon (3 sleep nursing bras), which are fine during the day but get quite uncomfortable by the evening.

Good luck with the search!

By 14 weeks I'd gone up a cup size and I think now by the time I give birth I will definitely go up another. I've bought a few bras from m and s that are just wireless and will probably buy nursing bras soon.

I went up a cup size in first trimester.... now 31 weeks and I’ve gone up 2 more cup sizes... and I suspect they’ll get bigger again.

So I would buy the bare minimum bras you can get away with because they might keep changing.

I went up two cup sizes by 7 weeks 🙈 probably not helped by the IVF hormones that I am still taking, but it still feels a bit extreme so early on. Bought a couple of new bras in figleaves sale, am hoping they will see me good for a while. I didn’t want to spend too much money on new bras but by 7 weeks my normal bras felt like they were binding my chest and constructing my breathing!!
