Maternity bras and clothing questions

[UntoldAngel]

Okay so i've had to look at maternity bras because my boobs have grown from 12DD to 12E in the last few weeks, and I think they are getting even bigger as the 12E's are starting to get too small... I've looked at maternity over just normal wireless because they feel more supportive
Because they are growing a fair bit, I have the following questions:
1 - when will they stop growing? (i'm 19weeks and assume they will be bigger again when my milk comes in)
2 - where can I buy cheaper bras to while they are growing? I've looked at Target, Big W etc but they rarely stock E and I don't want to be paying $50+ if they're only going to be worn for a couple of months

With maternity clothes, do they make the bum and thighs in them bigger as well??? I bought a pair of casual 3/4 pants in a 12 (my normal size) and they are massive in the bum and thighs and I feel like they are sagging I think I could have bought a 10 and fitted nicely. Has anyone else found this, or is it just me? I haven't lost any weight, I've been eating heaps and haven't been vomitting... just seems odd to me

You might find a size 14 DD may fit you as well as the 12 E, there are extra hooks on the back so they can be let out as your BB grow.

I have also found that maternity pants are nice and loose and found that the smaller size was adequate.

can't help you with where you can buy cheaper bras.

I got a heap of maternity bras for $20 or under at Bendon at DFO during a sale. Not sure what their non-sale prices are like.

BrasnThings have great maternity bras and the ladies will fit you there as well

I got fitted for Mat Bra's at 20w at Myer. The lady who fitted me was lovely and explained that when fitting they allow for you to cont growing so the bras I got at 20weeks should fit me once my milk arrives, I did the same thing with DS and had no problems once milk came in and settled down. I think the main thing is to find someone who is good at fitting maternity bras and will take the time to find the right one.

The main issue I had with being an E cup is the more supportive bras aren't that attractive (nana bras!!!), in the end comfort and support had to take priority.

Good luck!!!

You could try going bigger around the back. I am usually in a 16DD but tried an 18D from Target a few weeks ago and its a little big in the cup. Not hugely and I figure it will be fine once my milk comes in so give that a go.
I did get two bras yesterday from kmart yesterday and one is a 18DD ($15) and one is an 16E ($10 bargain).
Sizes vary alot so trial and error I say.
