I just got some last week at 17wks as I couldn't handle it anymore. I went to bras and things and thankfully got a really nice girl to help me. She told me to go up a back and cup size to allow for more growth (God I hope not too much more!!) so hopefully they last a while.
I got mine early in the 2nd tri. I didn't have to get any later on even when my milk came in.
I can highly recommend Hestia Maternity Sports Star ones. They are available at Big W for around $20. They are super stretchy and super comfy. Some Big W's have them in the Mat Bra area others have them in the Sports Bra area.
I'd definitely recommend getting professionally fitted too. Go to a major department store, like Myer or DJs rather than a shop like Bras N' Things as they tend to be better. Once you have the correct size, you can then go to other stores where you might find bras a bit cheaper.
I got mine really early because my ( . ) ( . ) were getting too sore to sleep without a bra on. I got the triumph maternity ones from kmart usually retail for $20 each but wait til the sales for a better deal. I love them as they are so comfy and have a bit of lace around the bottom for decoration. I agree with getting professionally fitted but unless you have some special reason that you need a certain bra for then don't waste your money on top dollar bras when kmart and big w will do the same job for a fraction of the price.
