Maternity bras for the more well endowed?

[Bells3032]

Any recommendations. I am now nearly 31 weeks and haven't even looked yet. I am normally a 40E in bra size. I am still fitting in my regular bras although getting a tad snug now but still comfortable.

When ordering sizes do i order a pre pregnancy size? so confusing!

I'm normally a 36DD and by the second trimester I was a 36G! I'd recommend getting fitted at somewhere like Bravissimo if you have one nearby. They have a good selection and experience in sizing for larger chests. I'm 28 weeks now and planning to go back soon for a repeat fitting.

What size tops do you normally wear?

40E is an unusual size (and not huge as far as cup sizes go) so I'm wondering if you have a smaller band size and bigger cup size than you think.

I recommend the Royce Blossom during pregnancy and the first few months. Once your baby is about 5 months old and your size has stabilised, it's worth getting a Hot Milk Temptation.

I used Freya underwired nursing bras. They had a moulded cup and soft underwiring which were much more supportive for a larger bust. Also removed the dreaded mono-boob you can get from fabric nursing bras. I waited until baby was born and then went for a fitting after a couple of weeks (luckily a local store stocked Freya but I know you might not have that option). Lots of websites have instructions on how to self-measure so maybe you could try that?

I found sizing way too confusing and found the size of them just got bigger and bigger so no point being measured!
I was a 38FF pre pregnancy.
I have some Next sports type nursing bras and Asda nursing bras- got both in the biggest size and they are comfortable.
My boobs are too big for Bravado, Lindex etc
