akraus2015 I've sized up twice so far and still have 3 more months to go, so I'm not sure about investing in something that'll fit now and later. The bras that are sized S,M,L do seem to fit longer and are way more comfortable as they have more stretch to them. The first larger sized bra I got around 20 weeks that were band/cup sized lasted me like 2 weeks before they got uncomfortably tight.

At the end of my pregnancy I started to wear maternity/nursing tank tops to sleep. I also liked the sports bras because you tend to leak when bf'ing. I wear them to sleep stuffed with pads and I could care less how stained they get.

I should probably just stick with the ones I have for now, then. I only have three, so I have to do laundry frequently. And one already ripped on the inside seam.
I mostly wonder what I need for nightshirts that can also be used for nursing. Maybe I should just wait? I want to make sure MOTN feedings aren't a hassle.

akraus2015 I have two long sleeve sleep shirts/tunics from destination maternity. They have snaps on the front. Those + a sleeper bra from target were my favorite.
akraus2015, anything with a neckline that's low/stretchy enough to easily expose a boob works, whether it's nursing apparel or not. If it's chilly a tank + shirt is nice so you can lift up the shirt and pull down the tank and not freeze.
Hitting 34 weeks tomorrow has me freaking out about the to do list. It doesn't help that everything is either tough to do when the toddler is awake, or noisy to do when she's asleep (her bedroom is basically in the center of our one story 1000 sq ft house).

akraus2015 I got 3 nicer bras at 12 weeks and they've pretty much fit the whole time. I need a band extender now but the cups work. Some friends have gone back to pre-pregnancy size after nursing, some to pregnancy size. I'm hoping I can wear these again later but we'll see.
The breastfeeding center by me recommends getting fitted for nursing bras no sooner than 37 weeks. I bought some of the Gilligan and O'Malley sleep nursing bras at Target just to have something. I'm a 32F and the larges fit fine - they have 1X and I think 2X as well.
Are you buying now or later? Last time I went from a D cup preg to an F/G after giving birth (reg wear a C). This time I did not. I'd wait to see how your breasts change.
I bought a few different bras. I never felt comfy since the fit would change depending on how full my boobs got. I wear sports bras most of the time until I stop bf'ing.
Was hoping to find some things that would fit now and later. I started as a 32DD (implants), and have since grown out of all those. I bought some Playtex bras in a size L, and they're really comfortable but SO ugly. I also usually wear nightgowns to bed but they're so tight around my chest now that they're leaving red marks.
My boobs are close to the same size as yours and I need full size- the bad is loose but the one size squeeze too much for the gigantic boobs. They're ridiculously comfortable and some have lace on top to be more stylish

I went from barely a 32D to currently a 32F so...
These look really comfy! I don't understand the one-size though...how does that work??
the bandaid fell off while she was nursing to sleep and now there's blood EVERYWHERE. But she's asleep so I guess my shirt just gets to be stained now. Lol

They're stretchy, so they only make one size and full size. I have both sizes (bought one of each to try since I was already a 32DD when I ordered). It's meant to fit a large size range of bra sizes so you can wear them as you grow

I'm a 36DD now and they're getting snug...did you say these fit even when you were an F? They say they go to D/DD so I was thinking they'll never be big enough for me (though you're also teeny around). I need some good DDD for at least the next couple months. I sleep in a bra now already bc they hurt hanging when they have freedom, so comfort is key!
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!

I don't know about a 36 band, but I'm a 32F.
I wear tanks with a shelf bra for bed, but that's what i always wear anyway for bedtime
Edit to add: I should probably mention that I do not throw them in the dryer- I never dry any of my bras and treat them the same
Yesterday my friends mom came at me with s service I've never heard about. Apparently you can have some one come to the hospital after delivery. Take your placenta and create placenta pills for Mom to take. I am shocked and she was so enthusiastic and thinks I'm doing it. Umm... Anyone want those business cards I'll be getting ?
Its called placenta encapsulation. I'll be doing it. My doula offers it as a service.

It's totally a thing. Not my thing, but to each their own

I'm also considering it. I don't know if I will actually take them though lol.

I'm lazily making pancakes for brunch. He is out getting parts for a piece of equipment he's fixing to sell and he's probably going to be outside with that most of the day 😡
What I really need him to do is take out our closet systems because we're getting new carpets next week AND to look at our dryer because it's not really drying.

I also want to put the crib together to make it easier for the carpet guys too but PGAL brain has me all, 'newp, don't do it. You might be taking it apart again'.
