I've gone from a B to a D but D getting too tight now (36 weeks) you will probably grow at least once or twice again - not just cup though, as your organs get pushed upwards your strap size will go up too. I went from 36 to 38 but could probably do with bigger, holding out to get measured for nursing bras!

A very helpful lady on my antenatal thread said your final size when your milk comes in iis you size at 37/38 weeks plus a whole fist... quite scary how much bigger these things can get!

I've gone from 34D to 36F (much to my shock when I went to get measured the other day) - so my nursing bra is a 36G.

I'm normally a 36d but went to Mothercare for a T-shirt nursing bra (need a thick cup as I have a problem with poking eyes out lol) and the only one that fit was a 38E!

I'm 38 weeks and DREADING when my milk comes in...considering saving my money & using a couple of bags for life with a bit of elastic (credit cruch and all!)

i have gone from a 28f to a 32i, but that was all up to 20 weeks - haven't changed since then! Was about 32ff at 16 weeks, so you might be similar to me in that you grow quickly and then stop - I thought I would grow until I popped but then they settled down - thankfully! Only strechmark I've got so far was on my boob though, so make sure you use cream/oil on them too.

I'm 34 weeks and have gone from a B cup to a B cup!!!! I don't think there are any hard and fast rules.

I'm 37 weeks. Before pregnancy was 36A, and am now 36E, which I still can't quite get my head round. I'm loving having big norks for a change!

dinkystinky · 24/02/2009 20:30

I went from 32FF before pregnancy to a 36F or 36EE by the end - so cupsize didnt change but backsize did.

KristinaM · 24/02/2009 20:39

32DD to 32G

logrrl · 24/02/2009 20:40

I am still wearing my 34A bras at 35+ weeks!

Wilkiepedia · 24/02/2009 20:42

I've gone from a 32DD to a 36 E

mum2b09 · 24/02/2009 20:47

iv gone from a 32B to a 34D and im beginning to burst out of them at almost 38 weeks i hope they dont get any bigger!! x

digitalgirl · 24/02/2009 20:49

34B pre-pregnancy to 34E while I'm still breastfeeding.

ShowOfHands · 24/02/2009 20:51

Same as digitalgirl. Horrendous stretchmarks too.

newmumtobe84 · 24/02/2009 21:33

Also on this - where is the best place to get measured for a nursing bra? x

digitalgirl · 26/02/2009 19:39

Newmumtobe - Rigby & Peller is the best fitting I've had. Really good supportive nursing bra (non-wired) that gives the best shape and lift. Paid over £40 though. My M&S nursing bras are rubbish (still wear them though, can't afford to buy more than one R&P bra).

lulu1414 · 26/02/2009 19:43

I went from a 30 DD to 32J (Yes... J!!!). Most of my growing happened early on, and soon after things settled down and I am now a 30GG and my still breast fed baby is 5 months. I have a couple of nursing bras, but now find they just don't give me enough support so I wear a normal bra and just slip it off my shoulder.

38C to 38F @ 28 weeks.

Boudiche in Edinburgh if you're ever there, gorgeous boutique, lovely staff, fabulous bras.

Was wearing a crappy M&S, but am wearing proper lovely lingerie style maternity/nursing bra now.
