Maternity Bras in General

When you are thinking about the baby's arrival it is an exciting time but if you are like me i wasnt sure how necesary maternity bras were and why they were so important - after my son was born i sent my husband to buy more!!There are some vital things about maternity bras namely they are easy to unclip for feeding - even if you are too shy and have absolutely no intention of feeding in public they save you getting undressed and cold when feeding. They are also important as they are not underwired which can hinder milk production. I found i needed about 6 at the start until i got the hang of breast pads - incidentally i found Tommee Closed to nature ones the best. ...  Read the complete review

Maternity bra's shouldn't be mistaken for nursing bra's. The one in the picture is actually a Nursing bra which has a little clip on the strap so you can undo your bra for your baby to have 'Pippy' (thats what we call it in our house and that was way before 'bitty' ever came into play). When you find out you are pregnant then it's time to ditch all of the sexy lingerie and hit the shops to buy a maternity bra or 'Granny' bra as I like to call it. I got fitted in Mothercare and ended up buying the most unattractive thing you have ever seen in your life from there too. Not only was it unattractive but it cost the earth too; around £20 for one! Ridiculous you ...  Read the complete review

I needed a new bra the day I found out I was pregnant. My bra had been feeling tight but assumed it was as I was due on. Once I found out I wasn't going to bed having a period any time soon I knew I needed a bigger size. I was advised to not to wear and underwire bra. I was already quite large bobbed anyway but I had gone up a cup size within 6 weeks of my pregnancy. I went up several cup sizes through pregnancy. Although I had to be measured and buy bigger sizes throughout pregnancy it was nursing bras that gave me the difficulty. I was told on the Monday I was going to be induced on the Tuesday so rushed to mother care. The lady who measured me didn't ...  Read the complete review

Once I discovered I was pregnant, I soon discovered my chest was growing. I knew that you are advised not to wear underwired bras in pregnancy and so as soon as I was up a size, I reluctantly put my trusty underwireds to one side and went shopping. I am very keen on good support, and though I wasn't going to go running and jumping, I knew I wanted to stay active throughout my pregnancy. I went and tried on maternity bras in Marks and Spencer and Mothercare. After a morning of frustrated shopping, I abandoned my quest. My size 32 back in early pregnancy was deemed too small for maternity bras. I grabbed a couple of non-wired sports bras instead as these ...  Read the complete review

Whilst pregnant I wanted to avoid spending a lot of money on clothes that I wasn't going to wear for along time, as tight as this may sound I knew that once the baby came along we were going to need every penny we could save to spend on essential items. I cut back by buying budget clothes from places like Primark, I just bought a much larger size to fit over my bump!! One thing that I couldn't cut back on though was a maternity bra. From about 15 weeks of being pregnant my breasts started to grow and I found that my normal, under wired bras were making me feel very uncomfortable and restricted. You are also advised not to wear bras with wires in throughout ...  Read the complete review
