So I'm currently 19wks pregnant having serious issues with boulder holders. I was a 38ff pre pregnancy now a 40g im spilling out of obviously as I'm rapidly expanding non wired would be best but here comes the problem.... They either don't do size big enough, are so thin the now coat hanger nipples have no coverage (awkward when I work with all men! Can only wear thick jumpers so much) or the bras point the girls east and West or they're just bloody useless like holding a cuppa tea in a napkin! So what I'm asking is any other big busted pregnant women out there have you found any hope in the land of bra purchases?

I have a slightly smaller band size, but have gone from a 34F up to 36G.

Best bras I have ever brought are from honey birdette. I got a few more recently. They are expensive, but currently have extra 25% off outlet sizes and do go up to 40G.

What dress size are you? Were you before pregnancy?

Bra extenders were my friend when pregnant!
I found that I kept changing bra size when pregnant and post partum so didn't want to spend loads!
I get all my big cup bras from bravissimo.

Go to somewhere like John Lewis or Bravissimo (online). They do them big enough. I went up to 40HH when pregnant.

I was around an 18 for comfort especially around chest

Bra stop goes up to a K and yours clothing do big backs. It's likely you need bigger cups. It's not always the band size that goes up

Thanks all as my username suggests I'm also not the youngest mum to be with baby due just before my 40th so things require supporting these days 🙄

I have worn bras from bravissimo (hot milk is my fave) since first pregnant 3 years ago, bras were great and I wore them all through pregnancy, breastfeeding, second pregnancy and breastfeeding again now - not the same bra whole time, as sizes have fluctuated - think I’m in a 32HH now.

The lansinoh breast pads are really good at covering nips that would otherwise be seen through clothing, and they are comfy so you honestly can’t feel you are wearing a breast pad.
