safe undergarments??

[LisaL]

Hi girls,

Sorry this might sound like a really dumb question , but I need to know if wearing one of those bodysuits (all in one bra and nickers) is ok during pg? I know gurdels (sp?) are a no go but not sure about the other things, in my head I think they should be ok cause they are essential like a one piece bathing suit but with a bra. Please let me know what you gals think?

Im having a dress made for my BIL wedding and I was suppose to get a gurdel thing, and I have my first fitting on Saturday and now I dont know what to wear under the dress!

thanks kindly,
Lisa

As long as its not tight to hold you in or cutting in anywhere I don't see the problem. Do you have to wear one, though? Can you wear a strapless bra?

If you do have to wear one, maybe you could get it a size bigger. Thats the joy of being pg - you can let it all hang out and you have a fab excuse, lol..

Thanks Nat,

No it wont be one of those 'control' ones. and maybe I will get a bigger size. Its just so the dress sits a bit smoother IKWIM? And the wedding is in Jan so I doubt that we would have announced it to the wider family - they will probably think im just super fat! LOL!

Thanks

I heard that you shouldn't wear underwired bra's when you are pregnant because the wire can damage the delicate tissue as you boobs grow, do you know if this is right?

I wore underwire bras all through my last preg and have during this one too. Even whilst b/f i was able too on the odd day. I think as long as it's not too tight and digging in you'll be fine. Just be sure you're comfy! Have fun at the wedding!

Bess your right underwire bras shouldn't be worn during pg. They can cause milk ducts to be blocked also. It is suggested that pg women wear a soft cup bra also
