TTMA Maternity Bras

[lennonkdc]

My girls are getting ridiculously. My normal bras aren't going to cut it much longer and I'm looking for recommendations for a few good maternity/nursing Bras for daytime wear and some recommendations for night time support. Thoughts?

I've just stopped wearing bras most days. It's cold so I can wear thick sweaters that (mostly) hide my gigantic nips.

That being said, my boobs haven't grown much yet and aren't so sore, just uncomfortable when wearing bras.

Bra band expanders are a great, inexpensive option for getting some extra mileage out of your normal bras. I also love the motherhood sleep bras. They don't have much support, but I could get away as daytime bras with them during the end of my pregnancy when my boobs were big and beautiful.

Oh and great nursing options that will also work for pregnant, achey boobs: cake nursing bras and cosabella never say never mommy

I just bought regular bras in a larger size that fit. Spending the money on expensive nursing bras wasn't worth it, because when nursing my boobs were way, way bigger than during pregnancy. At night, pregnant or not, I wear a cami with a built in bra for a little bit of support. It would never be enough for during the day, but I find it comfy at night.

I am up a cup and a band size right now so I got a couple of good VS bras for now. Last time around I went up an additional 2 cup sizes post giving birth so the nursing bras I bought pre-birth were too small.

Plus one to the bra extendeders. I wouldn't buy any nice bras your body will still change a ton and you are just throwing away money. Towards the end I did buy two cheap underwire free bras from Target that worked pretty well. I never used a nursing bra, I had a couple of nursing tanks and just wore the underwire free bras at first when I wanted something other than a tank. I would recommend a hands free pumping bra if you plan on pumping that thing was awesome, but I wouldn't buy it right away- my ribs expanded with DD had I bought one at the start it wouldn't have fit.

bocaburger, I wish I could get away with not wearing a bra. It's not really an option for me.

I also can't get away with not wearing a bra. I basically just use bra extenders on my regular bras. When I gave birth, my boobs were literally bigger than my kid, so I bought a cheap bra from target until they figured out what the heck they were doing.

I agree with not buying nursing bras till later. Sleep bras are good or maybe a sports bra?

I'm no help. I'm just happy to finally be filling out my A-cups a little more.

As a regularly smaller girl (I rock a 28B or so), the Bravado Bliss is about the only nursing bra that fits. It also fit my much larger IRL friends. Pretty much all of my good girlfriends have used them for pregnancy and nursing.

I love my motherhood nursing bra sports bras. I sleep in them/live in them
