Oh Maternity bras....
Tricky ha! Well I'm already large and during the last pregnancy the band around my body made me vioently ill so I didn't wear a bra.
So the girls are now sagy too. Ah well they have fed two babies and one on the way so who cares!
Avoid Bras and things like the plague. They are unhelpful and often fit me incorrectly. Can do and have done a better job on my own. I have also found that the M.bras they sell are all synthetic materials. I'm hot enough and swetty enough without making it worse.
I go to a little botique, was fitted correctly and the lady was LOVELY! I told her I wanted all cotton, no lace, and still room to grow.
She gave me a couple of triumph m.bras to try. Oh Heaven! All cotton, a little bit of lace around the band to pretty them up but not across the actual bust, there is still plenty of clips for growth and I like them. Sooooo much more comphy than ordinary bras.
If you don't have any independant botiques around try big department stores like Myre or David Jones, someone like that.
Also try Old lady shops....sounds crude sorry but the little botique I buy my bras from is a clothing store directed at older women for their outer ware. Normally I wouldn't shop at a place like that for myself but they are very good at fitting bras and actully listen to you and actully want to help you.
I lost my patience with Bras and things long ago and unfortunatly the only big bra shop in our town and surrounding towns. Sigh! Don't you just love it when they measure you incorrectly sell you the bra, the first time you wear it and settle in it you realise the cup is a size too big cause it's gaping, so you take it back and they won't give you, your money back or the smaller cup size.....I hate bras and things.
At about 8 weeks I bought 2 target cotton non underwire bras for $30 each. They have a wide elastic band under my bust and wide cotton straps and plenty of hooks. My normal size is a 16d and the berlei fitter that happened to be I store advised an 18 dd. I'm so glad I got them as I've now needed to use the looser hook and am almost filling the cup too.
I'll buy feeding bras later on but for most of my pg these will be just fine.
