Best maternity/nursing bras for a big bust? Help!

So I'm about to enter the third trimester and I'm bursting out of the bras I bought earlier in pregnancy. I started pre-pregnancy at a 30F, I initially went up to a 32H within weeks and I think I'm on yet another growth spurt... Who knows where I'll end up. With planets on my chest, I think.

I've heard they get bigger during breastfeeding too. So I'm on the lookout for maternity (well, nursing ideally) bras that are good for ladies with a larger chest like me. All the ones I've seen go up to a DD, sometimes they'll say they can fit an F cup, but obviously that's still not big enough.

My Bravissimo lace horrors are getting so uncomfortable, I just want a nice seamless bra I can wear now, and when nursing eventually, so hit me with recommendations please!

In a very similar situation, I’m living in 1 sports bra that’s getting a little too snug. I can’t help, but I’m here for any advice that follows.

I'm starting at 36F (I'm very broad!) and just bought some m&s wireless bras - they're nursing but I figure will work for now. I bought a G in (dreaded) anticipation, but I think they go up to H. Can't see anything beyond that though annoyingly.

I was a GG cup before pregnancy, no idea what I am now but I have been wearing m&s crop tops in an XL which have been surprisingly supportive and super comfortable! Couldn't wear underwires at all after about 8 weeks.

I got very big in my last pregnancy and then breastfeeding after and had 2 bras from Bravado, the body silk seamless one. The sizing is a bit funny but I was a 34G/GG and got L-FC and they fit perfectly and stretched with me!

Very similar size to you 30FF to 32G in pregnancy, dropped back to a 30 once baby was here.

These are the bras I used:

Not the most stylish but comfortable and supportive, and coped well with the fluctuations in size once my milk came in!

I was 32H before no idea now :") but I got a bra from this site because it was multiple sizes for when you get bigger. I've found it comfy 😌 molke.co.uk/collections/flexi-size-bra/products/black-flexi-size-bra?variant=39305947775055
There's a few nursing bras on there too I think. Will be watching out though for where everyone else has found gold cause its hard to find size up in the shops 👀

Following as similar issue!
Bravissimo is literally only place ive found going above a H cup but as im not sure how the boob situation will change post birth, I bought a H nursing crop top type set from M&S (no wires and v comfy) and some back bra extenders from amazon to give me few extra inches around the chest (less than a fiver for set of 3 and have been life savers during 3rd trimester as rib cage expands!!).

Hoping this will see me through the next 5 weeks then will likely have to bite the bullet post birth and pay Bravissimo prices if they dont come back down below a H cup 🙈🙈

Bizzyone · 19/11/2022 14:22

These have bought me some extra time extending the space in my current bras until I figure out where to get big proper ones from!

Just wanted to pop back on and say thanks for all the recommendations! I will give M&S and Molke a go. It's getting silly now, I'm spilling over the sides 😂
