Hi All!

I'm 6 weeks preggers and popping out of all my regular bras and feel super constricted in my sports bras. So I've been wearing two bras for the last week.

Did you go out and buy bigger bras?
Did you just get buy in sports bras?

I'm a 32DD before the boob invasion, where I can I get bigger than 32DD bras?

Thanks in Advance!

Lane Bryant carries larger bras, that's where I go. I landed up getting 2-3 comfy bras bigger than my normal size. My boobs normally stay a bit bigger until I start to lose the baby weight, so they came in hand after birth too.

If you typically wear a 32DD, you might want to try a 34DD. Victoria's Secret has a Body by Victoria Demi bra that is wonderful for larger breasted ladies!

Don't know if this will help, but I had a lot of luck with bra extenders. You can get them at motherhood maternity. It at least helped around my ribcage.

Thanks ladies! I'll check it out. Im at 8,5 weeks now. My boobs feel like they're taking over again. Maybe wearing a cami or sports bra to bed would help my comfort level too.

i was a 44dd before pregnancy by the end of my pregnancy i was wearing 48DD i couldnt find any maternity bras in my size and online they were super expensive and i couldnt try them on
I ended up finding my size at Walmart in the boxed bra section
and they were very reasonable .;.. so theres a suggestion thats not too expensive i also used xxl sports bras ...
now that my lil one is 7 months old i have lost none of my top so im still in these big bras and sports bras :( i lost weight but none of it up there lol

your not the only one. I was a 34DD before my 2 sons, now im baby number 3 im a 34G!!! i cant find bras anywhere! Ive resorted to buying wireless bras in bigger sizes, currently busting out of a 36DDD and then sewing them to be tighter in the band and straps. i tried to safety pin them in the beginning and just ended up getting stabbed alot lol

At 15 weeks my bras kind of rest on top rather than supporting. I never thought I'd say this, I didn't wear a bra to work the last two days. I have cami's that have a shelf bra, but even those are too tight to sleep in now.

I've bought one of the champion sports bras from target and it's okay. I need to wash it and try it again. I saw nursing bras at the maternity store, do the boobs keep growing during the 2nd and 3rd trimester?

I'm a 32DD non pregnant, and got up to a 34 G by the end of my pregnancy. I was able to find a 34G bra at Motherhood, believe it or not!
