Bra help

Can anyone advise if there are any pretty bras that actually have some padding?
I've googled maternity bras as I can't fit in most of mine now and either breastfeeding ones come up without padding or they look really bad. I'm 12.5 weeks and 2 saggy bras aren't holding up well. I thought maybe just get bigger normal bras but then what size up do I get? Google gives too many answers to inches and cup size.
Thanks in advance!

I've been wearing these, I wouldn't say they're pretty but they aren't ugly or grannyfied, have padding, run in large sizes and are non wired which I've had trouble with!

Regarding sizes I'd just wear what fits now, I've changed sizes twice during this pregnancy (currently 37 weeks and not expecting to change again!).

I have a couple of these:
www.womensbest.com/products/power-seamless-sports-bra-royal-blue

It comes in a lot of different colours (some are on sale) and it has padded inserts which you can remove for washing and drying. It's also quite stretchy material without having any constricting tight elastic, so it's comfortable to wear and has been able to accommodate my boobs, which have got at least 2 sizes bigger so far. Tbh it's not great as a sports bra because it's not supportive enough to stop things bouncing if I jog/ jump, but as an everyday bra for pregnancy I'm pretty pleased with them.

Also - this might be the international site because I'm in the middle East at the moment so it won't let me on the UK site properly, but the same style bra is available online in the UK too.

You don't need it to be a specific maternity bra, any bra that's comfy is fine for pregnancy.

Thank you very much ladies that gives me something to go on! It all seems so confusing at the moment and Google sometimes adds confusion instead of helping!!

Tu - Sainsburys

(tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/p/MATERNITY-Grey-Floral-%26-Pink-Nursing-Bra-2-Pack/134209336-Grey?searchTerm=:newArrivals&searchProduct=)

Alot of sizes out of stock online but our big Sainsburys were stocking them in store or perhaps Argos may bring up different results.

I think I began to outgrow mine around 12 weeks too. I'm now 39 weeks and hoping these will see me through nursing. Did have to size up 1 or 2 sizes in both back size and cup size.
