I just had a horrific bra-buying expedition! Urrghhhh surely this is the worst part of pregnancy! I live in the sticks and its a two hour drive to Adelaide. I went first to Myer and asked for a fitting. "We are too busy" I asked when would be suitable for me to come back? And they said "Don't know" and just walked off. Grrrr - this is the second time I've gone there for a fitting and they've been too busy. Not happy Jan. I then asked what brands might be suitable for a large breasted pregnant woman (I've gone from 14 D to ????), they asked me what size and I said, I don't know! That's why I asked for a fitting!

I ended up buying two bras, one is a mat bra sized 16F and a sports bra 18E. I know that you shouldn't wear underwire bras but my breast ached constantly due to the lack of support in a mat bra so sometimes I just have to wear a underwire! I have to do a lot of 4WDing in my job (I'm a wildlife ecologist) and seriously its impossible to hold my breasts and drive at the same time! So I figure I'm doing more damage by not wearing a sports bra in those instances. All other times I am wearing the mat bra.

My next bra I'm going to buy from one of the places online that have been mentioned here. I'm so sick of feeling like crap when I got to Myer, or DJ's or B&T. Its rotten.
