Bra advice please!
Sorry for posting about my boobs all the time.  I just realized I'm about to bust out of my current bras and I'm trying to figure out where to go from here.
I am only 8w4d.
Do I buy maternity bras? Though my boobs are getting bigger ... I just find most of them ugly ... or at least the ones I found while browsing online last night.
Do I buy some regular bras in a bigger size? How much are my boobs going to grow? Is it feasible to buy now or should I wait? I mean, I can't imagine waiting because my cup runneth over, if you catch my drift ...
Thanks in advance!

Re: Bra advice please!
I would buy the extendor for now and then soon enough you will have to upgrade to a bigger size! I used it for DD and it gave me more life out of the bras!

Re: Bra advice please!
I used to wear a 36C demi cup and was running over all over the place. I bought some online and went up a cup and number size and it was huge. I realized all I needed was a size C but full coverage. And instead of buying the 38 which fit now, I bought the 40 in case I grow more.
Good luck bra shopping. Btw, I found some pretty reasonably priced nice bras at JCPenny.

Re: Bra advice please!
I had gone down to a 36 D (from a 38 D) when I lost weight a few years ago and I'm honestly only back up to a 38 D now -- they really didn't grow that much! I have a whole lot of soft cup, underwire bras from Victoria's Secret that I'd gotten over the years that I absolutely LIVE in right now. They have tons of stretch, which is good for the more bloated days, and the band is really comfortable. Plus they don't fall off my shoulders.
I have 2 maternity bras but I don't really love them. One's a sports bra type and it's just uncomfortable with the cross-back. I know it'll be practical eventually but I don't like it now.
If you have cups that still fit, you can just buy extenders for the back to make them more comfortable. Otherwise, I highly recommend soft cup bras that are stretchy. They don't do the best in terms of hiding you when you're cold (I'm sure you know what I mean) but they're really comfortable and still provide good support.
HTH!

Pick up bra extenders. That'll buy you some time.

Most maternity stores. Motherhood Maternity or A Pea in a Pod.

Re: Bra advice please!
i got regular bras in a bigger size. i'm very very picky about bras because my boobs are naturally larger than average (34 D)...and now they are just porn-starrific  . i'm super self-concious about my chest though (always have been), so i know which bras makes my frame look best.
also, my boobs grew at like 9 weeks and haven't changed since then! if they were to grow anymore, i probably would get maternity bras just to save money.

Re: Bra advice please!
I love the bra extenders! Definitely pick some of them up. My breasts swelled slightly in the beginning but haven't grown since and are pretty much what they were pre-pregnancy.

I was in the Maidenform outlet in Deer Park and picked up a a bunch of them there. I'm sure other stores will carry them.

Re: Bra advice please!
I bought new bras around that time too bc the girls were outta control. I went from a 36C pre pregnancy to a 38D by my 8-9week! I bought regular bras on sale at Kohls. I hope they are done growing for awhile

Re: Bra advice please!
I bought cheap bras in multiple sizes bc I have changed twice already - granted I started out small but I was out of my bra size by about FIVE WEEKS!!! then out of that one in another four. I'm keeping steady now at my size but expect I'll move up again. I got some cheap bras at ROSS so I don't mind using them and then moving on! (call me easy )

Re: Bra advice please!
I went up in size around that time. I went to kohls and found some nice inexpensive bras
I bought one to fit me at the time which wasnt such a great idea bc it's already tight on me and one that was kinda looser but fits better now and still is giving me more growing room.
