    I was getting braxton hicks ridiculously early and this is only number 2... They're getting more uncomfortable now too...

    Pre pregnancy i was a 36DD, and now only one of my old bra's fits. Thats a 34DD i think, i had to get it smaller as it was the only one they had left and i really liked it and it was £3 :D

    Im going to wait until i grow out of this one before i buy a new one :)

    In mothercare they are expensive though, like £18. :eek: I've never spent that much on a bra before lol. I could buy lots of clothes in primark for £18! :rotfl:

    xx

    Oh I spend loads on my bras/underwear. I think nothing of £30odd for a bra and about £15 for bottoms :o

    My size before pregnancy was 36/38e (depending on brand and style of bra)


    I've been secretly eyeing up the Triumph 'Doreen' bra, how comfortable does that look?! It's bloody horrendous though :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

    I once bought a basque for £35, never worn it lol.

    I might invest in some of the HotMilk pregnancy underwear, its pretty so it will do me fine hhe :)

    Thanks everyone thats put my mind at rest its amazing how much you forget.

    As for the bra thing well ive gone up a cup size and back size and currently have two bras that fit me properly. i spoke to my midwifethough and she told me i can still wear underwired bras as long as they are fitted correctly and dont interfear with my bump ( ie they dont dig in) Thank god with 36 E's i need the support lol, so i have just gone bought bigger sizes after being measured and not bothered with proper maternity bras yet. I will need to invest though towards the end as i want to breast feed so will need ones with cups that unfasten.

    It is pretty that Hotmilk underwear - I couldn't justify paying that much for something to be worn for X amount of weeks though.


    Oh I'm just sick of feeling like a big blob :cool::rotfl:

    I usually buy £35 bras... But I buy them when they're half price... It cuts down the choice but I'd rather pay £17 and get 2 pairs of matching pants and still get it for less than £35 ;)

    Krystal, that's even better! Can't wait actually to start shopping for some nice undies once I've had the baby.


    xmaslolly, Triumph bras are sooo comfy I find, I used to wear the 'Amourette' and had it in every colour going, but I haven't seen that now for a few years.
    The t-shirt bra you're talking about, are the cups padded or moulded or not? I can't stand padded t-shirt bras, as if I'd need more padding?! lol
    If they aren't padded or moulded,I might just have to get me one of those! x

    Anyone heard from feelie?
    I know I've had my bubs but she's still my due date buddy :D

    Ryan is fine, gave him a bottle at 11pm last night, he woke up at 3.15 am, then 6.45am, not bad really, and he went straighht back to sleep after his bottle.

    I'm absolutely shattered, we had OH's daughter today, she and DS1 were a bloody nightmare together!

    And we registered bubs today so he is now officially Ryan William John Mac... :D

    Shellsuit they are moulded but not to the point wear they are adding size or bulk. Ive found it has helped to have the thickness there at the moment as everything is so tender around the nipple area x
