I had to settle with the triumph ones also and the price i know is steep. I agree with cookie blest bras has a good range. I also bought a maternity singlet which is great, i often wore it to bed in first few months.
Curl - Thanks for asking this question - the bra thing has been stressing me out!
I checked out that Blest Bras site and it was pretty good - i wanna order in some bra's but was wondering - im a 16E now and 39wks preg tomorrow - when the milk comes in will i need to go up too a F?
and how many maternity bra's do u really need? i have 3 but they are starting too look a lil too old already!
And when going to bed - i take it u wear ur maternity bra's too bed?
Hi there,
i was on ebay today looking for mat bras and noticed there was larger sizes on there most brand new or brand new without tags alot cheaper than instore..
Curl - I'm a G cup but can be a an F depending on brand. I'm not real sure about maternity bras but Myers and David Jones have up to G cups for sure. I mostly use Frayreform. But have also been using an online UK shop called Bravissimo. They are pricey because they are overseas but such good quality and they cater up to K cup & with really nice patterns / material etc...not just the boring ugly stuff that seems to be the choice for anyone 16DD+. Just google Bravissimo.
Another thing I've found really supportive (but not sure if its helpful for breastfeeding) is to use the sports tops at Rebel. The brand I use is Champion. No wire or anything. Is kind of like a crop top/half singlet thing. Has really firm and comfortable fabric and would be good as a night bra too. I've got a couple of XL's and they fit over my G boobs
hj1981 - I think everyone is different when the milk comes in. But I went up about 3 sizes. It wasn't a pretty site and I was so unprepared for it, I just had nothing...I think I ended up getting like a 22 F and sewing the backs in because the larger the back size, the bigger the cup seems to go. Anyway, they returned to normal a week or two down the track after my milk was properly established.
ZigZag - u went up 3 sizes? my gosh im in trouble than! what did u do the time u were in hospital? did someone go shopping for u or did u just make do with what u had?
hj you just make do.
Most of the time you spend so much time at home in those first few weeks that they wee bit of time you are out and about is bearable with the wring sized bra.
My milk settled within ten days, for others it takes six weeks or more.
Then again, ive been wearing bras too small for a long long time now, so i am just used to it.
