What to do about bras, none of mine fit anymore!!

[lov3hat3]

So im 10+1, a month a go i was a size 32a, now im completly outgrown 34b's. Now obviously im trying to save money to buy as much as i can for the baby by myself so i dont want to have to keep buying bras, just to outgrow them in a few weeks. Is there anything i can do? or any alternative methods lool?! im just thinking if ive already grown this much in a few weeks then thats alot of bras! Does anyone else have the same problem? Will they keep growing with my bump?

I feel your pain. I was a 32A, then a 32B and am now a 32C...which is nearly impossible to find.

I'd get bras in your size but only get non underwire ones. They'll be more comfortable when you outgrow them, so you'll be able to wear them longer, since you won't have something cutting into you! That's the only real suggestion I have.

Your boobs will swell up even larger after birth too when your milk comes in.

Ahh, I feel your pain. I was a 34A before this and now a 36B and I think I am still growing. I went to Victoria Secret and bought new bras which helped for a little bit but the under wire was AWFUL and would put me in so much pain I only wore them unless I absolutely had to. One day I went shopping and saw a nursing bra and decided to get it and it was... Heaven. It didn't squeeze or cut me and it's so comfortable. No, it's not the most attractive thing in the world but at least I can use it now and after the birth!

haha! it's only going to get worse unfortunately! i started at a 34C- now i'm at a 36/38 DD... it is RIDICULOUS. and, like you, i can't justify buying new bras every month when i could be spending that money on the baby. unfortunately, i've realized that it's just a necessary thing at this point and there's no getting around it!

embrace the comedy boobs mine are ridiculous. even my OH laughs and says they look so funny on my frame. usually i'd be angry at him.. but he's right. we just humor them now comedy boooooobs!

I am currently wearing frilly/lacy vests. They look nice however aren't bras so feel comfortable enough. I am leaking quite a lot so they also hold the breast pads in well. Only pain is sometimes they are longer than my current tops!

I wasn't going to buy countless new bras, I was a 30A and am now 34B

I went from a 32B to a 34D
they are getting tight but I will loosen until I need to go up another size

i went from a 34D to a 36G!!!!!

i wore my sports bra most of the time and although completly unsexy it did the job that it needed to do because my boobs were just too sore not to wear a bra (and i feel really wierd without one on) i managed to get a couple of bra's in primark for i think £8 for two without underwiring and they were just plain black ones but if your not wanting to spend alot of money then i definately suggest primark.

When i was about 27 weeks i went to marks and sparks and got properly fitted for a couple of maternity/nursing bra's the woman in marks and sparks was brilliant! she said that im better to get a cup size up from what i was measuring at the time as my boobs were still growing and would grow more when my milk came in ... i only got 2 bra's (twin pack) because i was worried about growing out of them too fast and needing to buy more but my 36G m&s bra's are still fitting me and they are soooooooo comfortable ... i think they were £25 for the twin pack but its definately worth getting when your further along so you shouldnt grow too much more and they have the clips on them for BF as well so useful after LO is born!

hope thats of some use to you

Mine went from 34C to 36DDD. I've been wearing a sports bra for a couple months now, and it's definitely doing it's job. They're just so ridiculously huge right now. I plan on getting a couple of maternity and nursing bras in a couple more months, but I don't think they're practical for me right now, because they're only going to grow. I hope my melons go back down to at least a D soon :\

 

[M&S+Bump]

I've just bought new ones today (Asda, £6 each!) after measuring myself - I wore a 32D or 34C before which has been tight for a while, but I'd just not got round to getting any new ones - the ones I bought today are 32F and 34E, and as I'm only 20 weeks I'm expecting to go up still further!

I also bought some bra back extenders from Hobbycraft which should hopefully make them go a little bit further if the band gets tight.

lucky your not gianormious breasted like me..started at 24g now im out grown my current bra which is an H

 

[holly2234]

Try sports bras or maternity ones. Ive got some maternity ones that are really comfortable even if they do get a bit tight. I was a 32E before. Im now a 36F and theyre so comfortable with lots of adjustment room.

i was a 32 b now im in 32 DD sooo i feel your pain! pick up some sports bras, dont worry as soon as you think their done growing theyll grow some more lol but a sports bra a thick one will keep your puppies up because the last thing you want is less support. Be prepared to spend a good 10 bucks on a pack of 3 but they will last you. I suggest fruit of the loom (upper support) it straps around the neck kinda like a bathing suit but dont be afraid to get a large size bacuse if its snug it might hurt your neck.

I was a 34G before pregnancy, how I'm a 36I so it's VERY hard for me to find bras so what I have done is buy a lot of Nursing Bras and had them on a loose setting.

 

[debsxhim]

You can also get the bra snap extensions so they loosen up on your back and the sides, making you have at least a little more room. You can buy one and use them on all your bras and they're inexpensive.

I just bought the cheapest two pack of bras I could find and just alternate them. They are awful and as a result I try and avoid wearing bras at home most of the time.

I was 36DD, then (because i'm carrying so high) my around measurement went up, so it's 38DD now...in the last few weeks I've found the cup size is now to small...so 38E will be next...don't even want to think about how big they'll be when I'm breastfeeding.

I hate wasting money on bras too

 

[rainbows_x]

I went to a 32B to a 34E!
And they're still fitting in 34E bras, once I had her and my milk came in it was agony becayse they were HUGE!

Try getting measured and getting some cheapy ones with no underwires in. x
