Need bra help! Worth it to buy regular bras vs maternity bras?

I am only comfortably fitting in two bras right now. So I went out and bought a few more of the same size, but now I am thinking that was probably a dumb idea. Sure enough, I tried them on and they don't fit. And they are expensive, so I hate to waste them. I am heading back to Macy's to return them.

So is it worth it to buy "regular bras"? ANd what is the deal with maternity bras, what makes them different than regular bras?

What should I do? Do you just keep buying bras that fit as your boobs change? Yet I can't keep wearing the same two bras until I move up a size, any suggestions?

I just had to buy 2 new bra's a cup size bigger. I refused to buy more than that because at 17 weeks I know I'm going to need bigger ones.

That's the thing though. I don't know if I should just increase cup size and/or band size.

With the ones I just bought that are same size as the one I have, the band seems tight as well.

If the band size is the problem - I found a band extender at pea in a pod for $2

That's a good suggestion. But it's not just the band really...

I don't know what to do but I feel like such a slob, with only 2 bras. Yet I buy Wacoal's which are very expensive to buy and just wear a few times if I grow out of them.
