hi ladies,

can i have some help with nursing bra advice?

how do i know what size to get? do i get the size i am now, even though i know when my milk comes in my boobs will change?

have tried to order some and the payment page wouldn't work so thought i would ask the question.

thanks in advance

I think you are supposed to get them so they fit on the loosest back hooks now but with a bit of room in the cup if you are trying them on.
reasoning is that your bump going will mean the back size will need to be tightened and boobs will get bigger and you will prob need some space for breast pads HTH
I think I was also told to get re-measured about 3 weeks after birth when milk supply is more settled


Skinty - that was very big of you

Searching - I tried reeces pieces on ur recommendation (I think) and now I'm in lurve with them!!

I wasn't that fussed with the cups - a bit too dry for me, I liked the nutrageous tho! :drool:

Goodness this baby I'm sure is gonna be a little booger and nothing like it's lovely big bro!! I swear Chris was so relaxed and gentle when he was in there I was almost never uncomfortable! This time I get sort of scratching/clawing which is a bit _pale_ and then the pushing feeling like its trying to push my thigh bones out of the hip joint :eek:

thanks sami, i have ordered a few online from mothercare, hope they will be okay. they dont stock them big enough in store, so surprised to find them online at mothercare in a size i think will be okay.

will give them a go and see what they are like.

How you feeling AF?

I would go and speak to someone in either a good local lingerie shop or Bravissimo - there is point where they recommend you come in AFTER to get measured for maternity/breastfeeding bra's but my pregnant brain can't remember what it is tonight I'm sure I could google it if I had the energy but I feel knackered and my back is really really really really sore after travelling today - only 4 more weeks of this to go though and of those 4 days are holiday - yay!!! Although they STILL haven't approved my annual leave so I'm ASSUMING I'm going on annual leave as of the 6th of April... so last working day would be 3rd - so that leaves me 19 days - 4 days leave so 15 working days before I go on leave - Get in!!! Add on to that the amount of MW and hospital appointments it looks like I'm likely to have and time will fly by! :rotfl:

Evening ladies... Bit of bad news in our house tonight... My Ratty passed away... Not completely unexpected, she was very old and had 2 tumours... But was fit an well this afternoon... I'm just glad I found her now rather than Aimee in the morning when she gets her breakfast...

Hubby very kindly bought me some cream cakes home for pudding so the cake deficit was briefly filled... Sadly it will occur again tomorrow... I might have to take up baking!

And here is a little pic of where baby will find itself in a couple of months time... Aimee's hand is in the corner... She was bringing teddies for baby to borrow seeing as it doesn't have any yet...

sami they're all so yummy to me :rotfl: ... im the same as you zoe was quiet a quiet bump compared to this one ... this little bump dude doesnt ever bl00dy stop he is currently kicking the hell out of me x

Krystal - Sorry to hear about ratty will you give her a proper burial with a lolly stick cross? xxx
Also are you any good at baking? I could pass on one or two of my almost fool proof recipes if ur not the best - although I'm sure you've mentioned jamie oliver tomato sauce before so can't be bad!

AF - hope they are decent - I tried on one bra in MC and then decided I couldn't be bothered!
