Nursing bras.....ladies I still have not bought any...woopsie lol. Where is best to buy them?! Dont want to spend huge amounts and how do you gp about sizing?!?!?!

 

[TTC no2]

Iwas going to m&s or mothercare. . Must get that done this week. Havebtr a clue how they size. Is it s,m ,l etc

 

[rachelb]

No its still normal bra sizing but im not sure on cup size. My boobs havent got exactly huge this pregnancy so am wondering how big to estimate and buy for!!!!

 

[Nonabean]

When I bought mine I just bought what I had been pre pregnancy and they seemed to do the job. My boobs didn't really increase in size though, and that's probably not the best way to go about it. Maybe go in and try a few on? Xx

I was fitted by someone in mothercare for my maternity bras and it was dreadful. I'm a 34E pre-pregnancy and she measured me at 40D and pretty much forced me to buy them. They were terrible fit and gave me no support.
I went back to mothercare with my mum when looking for nursing bras, but instead of being fitted my mum helped me choose as she is a bra fitter herself and I came away with 36F instead and they are so much better!! My boobs will get bigger when my milk comes in but that will be sorted by loosening the straps a little. One tip is when you're trying them on, make sure the band is on its loosest setting. Soon as you give birth your rib cage will shrink back to normal so you'll need to tighten the band and if it fits well on the tightest when trying it on with a bump, it will be too loose afterwards.

The NCT also do bras and have very well trained fitters. Might be worth seeing if there's one in your area. You don't need to be a member and often they'll come to your house to fit you.

Rachel I got mine from Newlook. They're true to size, pretty and a bargain!

Xx

I found mother care awful too. I brought a few and none fitted - far too tight! My back size never decreased post birth - despite loosing all the baby weight so they were all useless. I'd get some cheap ones to start then get measured or try some on a few weeks after.
I found I became quite fussy and preferred the A style as it was more discrete x

I always find it best to try on. I got measured in mothercare for maternity bras and my one was great. I've bought a couple of nursing bras from debenhams that I tried on, didn't get measured for these but they are grand for now. Like podpie said, they fit on biggest back, have extenders in case I get bigger and can tighten as back (hopefully) goes down.

Well reflexologist hasn't kick started labour but she did manage to activate my bowels and my milk has stepped up too, all I have to do is touch my boob and it comes out! Had a couple of periody pains last night but not strong or regular. Let's see what hospital appointment today brings, I really don't fancy the induction process.

Feeling so rubbish, I've got back pain and hip pain that just won't go away Hoping it might be the start of something but I doubt it xxx

 

[i.love]

Good luck Rachy!!!

Please have you fx for me ladies - hubby is on the way to the airport. Not back until Wed evening! Please please little baby stay put until then!

And I also have yet another cold. Hardly slept last night for sore throat

 

[i.love]

Lanny I think back pain can be a sign?.. Let's hope it is! Xx

 

[TTC no2]

Aww fingers crossed baby stays put ilove.. and wed flies in for u..

Looking forward wed myself.. ive a scan so eager to see what little one weighs after being scanned 35weeks. Think I wil take my little girl with me too as id like her to see.. plus my parents will prob be wrecked from travelling to mind her.

 

[Cakey]

Hope baba stays put for you Olya I've heard back pain can be a sign too but I do suffer with it on and off anyway so that's why I'm feeling doubtful.
Sounds like a nice idea to take your daughter to the scan TTC, hope all is well xxx

 

[i.love]

Thanks girls!! X

 

[Demaris]

Ahh I.love I hope these few days fly by for you and baby stays put!

My little man is fully cooked today! One week to go until induction, this week is going to be strange everyone is telling me to enjoy the peace and quiet but I have to admit I am so bored! It's too late in the day to get my oil paints out, and I'm not one for the TV so just pottering around I guess.

I've started to get PMT/PMS symptoms, which warrants another thread I think as apparently it's quite common before labour. I doubt whether he will make an appearance before next week, but it would be nice

 

[Podpie]

Ahh I bet you're so excited Demaris!

Any symptoms I was having seem to have buggered off lol. This baby is just too comfy!
