Bra Recommendations, Please!

Hello mamas,

I remember with my first pregnancy having the hardest time finding bras that fit and were comfortable. I ended up spending a ridiculous amount of money on bras, and still was never satisfied. I am 7 weeks pregnant and hoping to have a better "boob" experience this time around. :)

So...any recommendations for your favorite bra that can grow with fluctuating boobs over the course of pregnancy? I remember with my first pregnancy that anything with underwire was uncomfortable b/c the baby was right up under my ribs and I expanded so much, it seemed, through the ribcage. I am normally a 34B (a small B, like barely a B).

Thanks so much for your help!!

What can I do next?

Bravado seamless. I found them 8 months into breastfeeding my son and wished I had found them earlier. I wore them throughout this pregnancy, and immediately got larger ones when my milk came in. They are great!!

Hey! same size. lol. I just used light sports bras. (Wal-mart has some that are really breathable and pretty comfy... cheap too!) soo much more comfortable, and they seem to be a little more "accommodating" as your boobs change size throughout your pregnancy....

I've found the Bali bras at Kohl's ($20-25) are great and comfortable. There's a large variety too so you can find just the right one.

I got some sports bras from Motherhood Maternity. I am busty to begin with and got huge with each child and these bras expanded throughout the pregnancy. Very comfortable.

I wore sport bras during my pregnancies and nursing. I think I got them at either walmart or target so nothing special about them but so much more comfortable than any of the nursing bras I bought.

I spend a ton of money getting all likes of special bras during pregnancy and while nursing with my first daughter. Honestly, Target has some of the most comfortable bras (and nice looking). The nursing bras (especially those without an underwire) could easily be worn during pregnancy, and then you wouldn't need to buy more bras when you are ready to nurse. Plus, they are cheap enough to get the right size every time your breasts grow and you need a new size. Sports bras tend to give women smashed uni-boob look. Not exactly what you want when you already feel less than attractive with a growing belly!

I LOVED sports bras during my pregancy. I started as a 34B, only used them when playing softball, but loved the strechiness as I...expanded. They were great for nursing too!

Bravado Body Silk is awesome. It is a nursing bra but I started wearing at about 7 months pregnant & continue to as I am nursing my 10 month old. Wish I had worn it earlier in pregnancy.
