Bra intervention measurements seem WAY out?!

4 replies

GingerRodgers · 22/06/2014 10:56

Pregnant so no idea if that makes a difference?
Have very 'empty' boobs normally but reasonably full at the moment due to pg.
measuring 32 underneath but these bands feel way too tight?
Measuring 46 across the nipples but that would put me at roughly a 32jj and that can't be right?!
I've got a Freya 34g which sort of fits.
Do I give up and just wait until baby is born and I lose this blubber?
Or any advice?
Thank you.

I was under the impression that if the band feels too tight it could be the cups stealing it.

The bra guru's recommend trying the bra on back to front, so ignoring the cups and see how you got then

I don't mind wearing a 34 as I hate feeling 'compressed' at the minute (love being at home and not wearing a bra!Grin) plus I'm guessing my ribcage still has a lot of expanding to do? 29 weeks.
Just feel like the cup measurement is way way out?

Ginger, I'd hold off buying a bra at the moment.
You've still got a ways to go, and if you are petite, your ribs will expand (and maybe splay out (as mine did)) as the baby grows. Any bra you buy now won't fit in a month.

Be comfortable, and wear something soft, like a sports bra, if you need support.

I'll just stick with the one I've got then. Can't afford loads.
Cat wear anything not wired though as boobs end up spread across entire body and make me look 12 months pg! Grin
