Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between a 'maternity bra' and a normal one?

They have more hook and eye rows, so when your back size changes, the same bra should still fit.

Anyway, back to college. Atleast it's a comfy chair this class, the lab chairs are getting seriously uncomfortable!

They're more supportive, because as your breasts get bigger they need more support to ensure the ligaments inside don;t stretch or tear, and to help avoid them being all saggy afterwards.

They tend to offer more coverage as a result so finding nice ones can be an expensive challenge, but it's worth it, as most normal bras don;t offer any support.

They also have more hooks and eyes, as stated, to enable you to adjust it as you grow and get more use out of them.

I haven;t seen any strapless ones thought, and a lot of maternity dresses seem to require one.
