Can't stand bra's!!

[sandilion]

I am having a hell of a time wearing a bra now. Right where the bra strap is on my back, i get his dull ache that also feels like it's shooting through into my rip cage - and it gets progressively worse as the day goes on to the point of unbearable!! Its especially painful when I am sitting, which is a nightmare at work as i work at a desk job.

I have been shopping all day trying to find the perfect bra ... spending a fortune, taking things back to swap over.... Nothing is comfortable, i really wish i could just go without but my breasts are HUGE!

Anyone else suffering this?

I ended up buying a nice but pricey maternity bra, which is the best out of all the ones i tried on ... but still gives me a certain degree of pain though after wearing it for about an hour.

Anyone have any tips on what I can do about this? Alternative bra ideas?

Omg! I was having the worst time a couple weeks ago with my bras! My boobs just keep growing and growing...I think I'm up to a 38 F now. The underwire on my bra was digging into the top of my bump and by the end of the day it was killing me and I couldn't wait to take it off. I bought a couple bras with no underwire and it's much better

Its just horrendous what us poor pregnant ladies suffer!!

Yeah the ones i wear def have no under wire... for some reason the pain is from just the slight pressure form he strap across the back. In fact my back is so damn sensitive just the lightest pressure causes such a terrible ache. I also feel very fluidly and tender. Maybe i should mention this to my OB tomorrow. I hope it goes away.

My bra happens to dig in the sides closer to my armpit than my back. It's horrible. Literally have to talk myself out of taking my bra off at work.

I get horrendous heartburn/indigestion when I'm wearing a bra. But my boobs are too big and heavy and painful to not wear one. When I'm at home I take it off and walk around holding them up, or prop them up with a cushion when I'm sitting. I feel like I've got two sacks of spuds dangling from my chest

UK ladies try bravissimo for fitting. They're really good at saying which makes will work for your shape. The wire should be sitting right up against your rib cage. I have the problem of the elastic rubbing on the bottom on the bra under my arm. I have opted for bra extendrs to lengthen them which has helped. I think I need to go up another cup size though now as last few days been getting shooting pains in boobs. Pre pregnancy I was 32ff, think I need to go for 34gg now.

I went to walmart and got these cami style bras for 5 bucks and they are my lifesavers.
