Oh my good gravy they HUUUUUUUUUUUURT! So bad. I really need to get a good super duper, extra support bra. I need something to lug these puppies around in (I'm a D). It feels like I've got 2 cement bags hanging from my nipples haha.

So question. Should I get a maternity bra? Or should I just go get a normal bra and eventually grow out of it? Will a maternity bra (not a nursing bra) have the support that I need?

I would get whichever supports you more at this point... You can't nurse very well in Either a regular bra Or a maternity bra, so whatever is more comfortable...

I agree with jgonz. I got a nursing bra when I went up my first cup size because my mum said that she went up two cup sizes in pregnancy and then back down one while she nursed. So I figure I'll be needed one cup size larger than my pre pregnancy size while nursing. If it's not a nursing bra, what's the difference between a maternity bra and a normal bra They don't recommend underwire bras in pregnancy because your breasts change shape so much and so quickly.

Wait til you get a new bra SOTFB! It makes such a difference to the way the girls feel!

Oh I hope so. They are really sore right now and it feels like they have n support and they're just hanging down to my knees haha.

I remember that feeling! A huge old granny bra really helps.

Mine hurt like crazy too & were totally OFF limits if ya kwim!! I did get 2 regular bras one size up that did not have underwire & those kept riding up. So I went to wally world looking around & found a very very comfy cotton bra with a underwire that I loooove! Cheap too. I didn't want to get a nursing bra just yet I'll wiat til later on. But I have to say I think that sleeping bra really helped as well. I don't wear it every night but every now & then.

Hmmm...I'd get some nursing camis or some other growable, not-sized bra. I invested in a nursing bra while I was pregnant and it's too small now.

I hear you on the breast size...Sports bras saved my life and I felt that they gave me a lot more support than nursing bras.

Well I don't want to buy a nursing bra right now... but I do need something better.

What sleeping bra?

 

[jgonz]

A sleep bra is for nursing and sleeping at night, but it's Way too unstructured for support (it's mostly just to hold nursing pads in place).

I started out the same size as you and I honestly couldn't find a decent maternity bra. They only seem to cater properly for the smaller sizes. At that size you definitely need underwire and it's difficult to find an underwire maternity bra that has good support.

What I found to be the best solution for me was to by a normal bra that the straps clip on at the front. That way I would just unclip the one side when I needed to feed. It worked perfectly for me.

I used a non-wired maternity bra for sleeping.

 

[llghoney]

All I know with the sleep bra is I went into Motherhood Maternity & the girl asked me if I had one & of course I didn't. I said what is the deal with it & she told me that docs recommend them if you sore boobs. Well, immediately I said I'll take one. I wore it for a few nights & no sore boobs. So maybe you can get one & try to see if it helps. It kinda looks like a prettier sports bra & fits snug.

Ooh I'll have to try that. I think I'm going to head over this weekend.

Sports bras are comfy for me!!!

No, they tell you to wait, unless you just want to. I have the same problem, acutally I have an 8 month old baby and just stopped breast feeding 1month ago, i'm like a 36 H.... it SUCKS! And i'm about to go bra shopping... i'm in despearate need. I really think that if I didn't have the trouble finding a comfy bra during pregnancy, then it'd cut down on half the irritation and discomfort.

They usually tell you to wait till a couple weeks before your supposed to deliver before buying a nursing bra, because when the milk comes in you grow a size or two in addition to what you already are.... so you'd probably want to buy one with some room too grow.

It's up to you, but right now you don't really need a nursing bra, but a good supportive comfortable bra (good luck with that... i shop and shop and shop for bras.... spend lots of money, and have complaints with each one)

I Hate bras witout underwire, they bunch! That is mainly what the maternity stores sell, or they sale medela bras with underwire and well, at my size they just are not supportive enough. They were a god send when I found the size G with my first pregnancy, but after that size in my opinion, they just are not supportive enough.

If I could find a cammy in my size that I felt held my girls up and was comfy, that'd be great. But I doubt it's possible, I hate the sensation of wearing a bra that feels like just cloth over saggy boobs with an uncomfortable band underneat bunching or making me sweat or something, the bra has got to hold me up, no skin to skin contact!

With my first baby I wore a sports bra while sleeping to hold the pads in, but boy with the constriction of any kind on some spots, i'd wake up engorged, Well, i'd wake up engorged anyways, now when nursing I just sleep with a towel over the girls, i find that so much more comfy.

I hate bras! If I didn't need the support so badly I'd just go without.

Every time I even try on a bra with an underwire I get told not to buy it because it'll be bad for my breasts as they grow or it'll block a milk duct. But you girls have empowered me to go buy an underwire bra. a) they make them in my size, and b) they give so much better support!

Lol HisBlood, I hope mine don't grow anymore when my milk comes in. Seriously, I don't think I could handle that.
