Hi,

Ive currently a size F bra size from a C and having nightmares trying to find a decent bra that feels right. There just not that supportive with no wires in and for some reason the bigger they are the less padded they are making them look saggy and just not comfortable. Im 26 weeks pregnant so will possibly still be growing but just want a nice bra now that you can wear with vests and stuff without seeing them, any suggestions???

I found mothercare to be really good
It really helps if you can get measured by a pro with pregnancy experience as my sizes varied so much even from bra to bra depending on style and type. I initially go some feeding bra's as they were most comfortable, then some non feeding one's and then back to feeding before she was born. And they really help having feeding bra's with the top front clip.

Anita maternity/nursing bras are fab.They have soft underwire and give great support.I am F cup as well and these are the only ones that do the job. You can get them from figleaves

I second Anita underwire maternity bras, which I started wearing v early on - they have been the only one that feels supportive, and the one I have has nice padded straps that don't dig.
I was always large, but being pregnant has made my breasts HUGE. When I don't need as much support (just lounging around the house, eg) I also like bravado nursing bras, which are very soft. I got a proper fitting from Bras 4 Mums www.bras4mums.co.uk/ (in lancs, but you can order from their website.)

Agree with captaincaveman (hello cc!)

Bravissimo for you!

You don't need a maternity bra for pregnancy and you can still wear underwiring as long as it's properly fitted and you are comfortable.

I'm a 34GG and have 3 lovely bras from Bravissimo atm. The fitting lady suggested you get measure about 3 times throughout your pg.

I am v comfy, well supported and my boobs are not merging with my bump as they used to do when I wore soft cup ones in my other pgs. If I knew then what I knew now.....

(Hello bobsmum!). I have 2 bravissimo bras atm which I bought at about 7 weeks pg. Am normally a 30D but currently in 32E. They are now getting tighter so soon be time to get refitted. The comfort from wearing a properly fitted bra is amazing!
