Ladies of mumsnet I need help! I’m pregnant and my bras are all getting too tight but there’s a bit more to it than that.
I have damaged nerves in my neck/back. This was the best it had every been when I gave up on wearing bras during lockdown.
I had a baby during covid and carried on being braless when I was nursing and would often wear a vest top under tops anyway. I had the odd nursing bra but didn’t wear it much.
I went back to work and slowly started wearing bras again, I can get away without during winter but now it’s summer (and I don’t have any vest tops that still fit) I would prefer to wear a bra if I can at work because it can be quite obvious if I’m not, especially after breastfeeding for 2 years.
Before I got pregnant this time round I was wearing ones like this. The wide under boob band carries most of the load meaning there’s much less weight on my shoulders/neck.

But now they’re getting too tight and I don’t think the wide band method will work for much longer because my bump will keep getting bigger. I’m wearing a more conventional nursing bra today as it’s the only thing I had that fit and it’s hurting my shoulders/neck already.
No wires and I don’t care if it’s padded or not.
