    I think I'll just get bigger bra's. The one mum lent me is a 14DD and its great, I actually have one in my usual size in the same style so I might just go pick up a bunch of them, and then when I'm done Mum can have them all! I've done the same with clothes, just buying what I want in a bigger size, so I'll be able to offload them to her too lol I have one of those shelf top maternity singlets but its just so uncomfortable and itchy!

    Gigi - Like I said, its more a matter of whether the babies will actually be able to have dairy at all. Not a single female in the last 4 generations of my maternal side of the family (possibly more but there are no records before the turn of the 19thC) have been able to have dairy including breast milk and cows milk until well after the baby years. The males, all fine, but it just seems to be something that happens with the girls! If they can, great ill just pull down the strap, no worries, but I'm banking that they most likely wont be able to anyway and if thats the case I don't want to waste money on uncomfortable maternity bra's!

    Bex - I'm sure they are not! You just need to find a great bra to fit your new girls! Buying for small boobs and big boobs - hell even just putting your bra on - is a whole new world, you just need a good tour guide and plenty of travel options lol

    Glam - Good to know someone who didn't have issues with not using them, I feel so gipped because my half sisters are like 'Oh they're so comfy you'll never want to get out of them' and I'm like...wtf planet are you living on? lol

    I found the best nursing/maternity bra was Anita 5068. It's like a normal bra, has underwire. Only difference is you can use it for BF as it has the drop down cup. These were by far the best investment I made. I wore them pregnant and BF and only ever wore these, I had two, one black and one white. I bought mine online from a US store. I am a funny size pregnant and BF as well. I was 12E (my normal size is 10-12C non pregnant)and these bras did the trick. They are a microfibre sort of material, no lace and really just looked nice on too.

    I wore them all the time and they were still good quality enough at the end to give away, in fact another BB member snapped them up.

    I am honestly so shocked! I bought my first proper maternity bra yesterday and I think I am in love. I cannot imagine how I would ever go back to wearing a normal underwire bra ever again! Have any of you tried HotMilk?

    Maybe you are actually a bigger size now than you think? But I do agree, maternity bras suck! I've been wearing them for the last 4 years, and have only found 2 that I like!
