When is it time to buy new bras?

I have been pretty lucky so far- skating by with only purchasing 2 new bras in my first trimester when my boobs grew to porn-star proportions and were sore as heck! But during the 2nd, they calmed down again and I was able to s-q-u-e-e-z-e these babies into my old bras Now, things are on the growth spurt again and I'm sure this it it. I'm really in for it this time because the 2 "new" bras are already too tight. I've got 13 weeks to go, should I start investigating nursing bras now? Am I jumping the gun? Is this insanely early to be looking for these things??

Help!

Squeezed and uncomfortable

I've heard that after birth, the girls balloon even more..... so maybe going to target and getting a couple soft comfy inexpensive regular bras would be best.... and invest in the nursing bras when you're close to the end (and get them a bit loose)

Re: When is it time to buy new bras?

I stuck it out with my "tight" bra (and double boobage) b/c nursing bras for us larger breasted ladies are expensive! I got a nursing bra in a size larger than I am right now. Try to hold out if you can, but I wouldn't get your nursing bras yet b/c you may just grow out of them b/f you get to even nurse!

I feel your pain.

I bought a new one (non-nursing) about 3 weeks ago and was told to come back in the 9th month to be sized for a good nursing bra.

I bought cheap sports bras at Walmart. They were like $4 each.
One of them has all hook and eyes down the front, so I guess it could be used for nursing!
