    M & S sell nursing bras (I think someone mentioned 2 for £25). A bit pricey but they do have a range of sizes and someone on another site said they were quite comfortable compared with other brands.

    That's exciting! I hope you're well.

    A word of warning for those thinking of buying before the birth. Be prepared to change size quite a bit. I don't think I had one for the first week because I went from a 36C before pregnancy, to 38F at end of pregnancy then needed 3 different sizes during the 18 months I breast fed.

    I advise going for cheap, comfy bras and changing them as your body changes. (And ones with a little stretch in them are good.)
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    I would encourage your wife to get measured properly as an ill-fitting nursing bra can lead to discomfort etc particularly in the early stages. What about investing in a couple of good bras from M&S or Mothercare and if she needs extra try looking on Ebay for the same style/size? You do get your money's worth out of nursing bras as you wear them at night etc. However your wife may find she reduces in size over the next few months and may need to get a different size. Good luck!
