How do you find a good maternity bra?

[c.leanne]

I had to go and search out a new bra yesterday, but unfortunately didn't go and have a fiting, was too scared was going to end up with an $80 maternity bra! I'm only 8 weeks along, and first bra shop bought a cheapy plain black bra for about $20, but I think its too small as a 12C- I was a 12B 8-10 weeks ago, but (thannks to the second bra shop) I'm now the proud owner of the ugliest bra in the known universe- which is a 12D- no wonder the bras and things manager only charged me 10 bucks. But I didn't try a shirt over the top of it, so didn't realise apart from being drop dead daggy, it seems to come right up my chest and couldn't wear much other than a skivvy over it! So am sitting here in old bra, with my 'cup brimeth over' and hoping I don't continue to grow 2 cups sizes every 2 months (I'm only short, I'll look like dolly Parton!) LOL!
