Nursing Bra Question
Hi ladies
You have been very helpful to me in the past with breast feeding questions so I thought you could answer this for me. I want to get some nursing bras ahead of time but I have no clue what size to get. Before pregnancy I was a almost a DD. Now at 5 months pregnant I am a DD. What size bra would be a estimate to buy for after my milk comes in. Thank you Lori |

For one thing, your band size may well change; many women's ribcages widen, especially during the later months of pregnancy. Additionally, there's no way of knowing what your cup size will be. If you want to have something on hand ahead of time, you might want to get a Bravado or a sports bra, which aren't that supportive but will accomodate changes in size. -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net |

It will still probably be a little tight when you are engorged, but will be ok most of the time after the birth. Good luck, Larry |

What size bra would be a estimate to buy for after my milk comes in. Thank you Lori I went and had a professional fitting when I was about 7.5 months along ... its really the only way to guarantee a correct fit. In my case, I went from a 12 DD to a 16 E during pregnancy. The nursing bras that I have all have twice the length of fastenning positions than my normal bras so they were able to accomodate 'everything' when my milk came in (I estimate that I was an 18E - so on the widest fitting) to now (almost a year down the track) at 14 E on the smallest fitting for my 16 E bras.

Thank you Lori I can't help with size, still trying to figure out what works for me, and DD is 2 months old one helpful hint, if you will be using one hand to fasten/unfasten, look for the Playtex ones with the plastic tab (or similar). they are MUCH easier than the ones with hook/eye closures!
