I'm having a bit of a bra conundrum here. Was hoping someone could give me some advice. I went out shopping for a nursing bra a little while ago and, well, honestly I wasn't much impressed with the service I was given. If I had've been alone I think I would have walked out but since I was with someone who had brought me in because they wanted to pay as a gift... Yeah. Maybe I should've said something, but I was too worried about being rude.
The nursing bras came in smalls, mediums, larges, etc. I haven't been measured since January (no, this lady did not happen to take my size for me) but I estimate that I'm at least a 36F right now, maybe a bit bigger than that. The medium goes up to a 34F and it fits on me too snuggly even with the pads removed from it and at the loosest straps. But I was told this was good because I should expect to go down in size (in the ribs when I'm done being pregnant and in breast size later). That made sense so I got the medium. If I got the large, there probably wouldn't be much room for me to tighten it if I get any smaller. However, since I was not measured, and the lady did not give me a large to try on, how much room there would have been I actually do not know.
Soo.. I am now stuck with a bra that does not fit me now and evidently my other bras were FAR FAR too small on me and I cannot wear them anymore so I am still stuck in an uncomfortable, too-tight bra, and this will almost certainly not fit me when my milk comes in because I presume I'll be a little engorged for a bit. I don't know if it's worth looking just for a cheap bra that fits me properly now or maybe has a bit of room if I swell up for a while? I'm worried because, as said, I can't fit pads into this bra, which means my nipples show right through and I might have leaks when my milk is in if I don't go down by then. I hope this bra works out in the long term because there's a no-return policy on it. I'm just so confused! I have no idea how to select a bra when my breasts keep going up and down and all over the place in sizes. What should I do?
Thanks guys
