Omg I need a bra that fits. Moan moan moan. Is that so hard to find. Need a moulded non underwired cos I'm so well endowed, a soft cup one would leave them around my belly button. Bravissimo have none. Mother are keep misfiring me. Any suggestions girls? Pre pregnancy I was a 32g and they measuring me now as a supposed 34f but keep fitting me in 36g bras!!!

I feel your pain!!!! Try http://www.hotmilklingerie.com/store/collection_TL?cat=New - some of the range is stocked at Debenhams and has the 20% current saving - it's not a cheap range but items are comfy, quality and pass the husband seal of approval too x

rjh I have the problem of being rather well endowed too (36G at the moment!!!). In the end I gave up on trying to find a non-wired bra that fitted and was comfortable. I have been told that underwired is fine as long you have your bra's properly fitted and checked regularly. As long as the wire doesn't start to press on breast tissue (which it won't if it fits properly) there shouldn't be any problems. I went to a local lingerie shop and the lovely lady there fitted me with an bra with stretchy lace cups - the stretchy material means it will grow with me and hopefully last a while. The bra is by Triumph and it's called Amourette, I think.

Elelyn I been in maternity bra since 4 weeks pregnant. They just do tender around that the underwire was killing me

rjh A friend recommended me Anita Nursing bras... her friend had used them during her pregnancy and had recommended them to her, so she recommended them to me, and I love them!

They are underwired, but they are specifically designed maternity nursing bras with little cup clips, so perfect to keep using after the baby is born too. They are very soft material and are a nice and simple shape (avoiding the boulder holder look of some non-underwired bras). They come in black, white and nude.

I started off (before baby) as a 32E, but am now a 32G, luckily there is another size above my current one as i'll be needing that soon. One thing to note is that they come up a cup size smaller than the label, so i'm currently wearing a 32H. Then i intend to get the strap extenders for the back for when the baby decides to push my internal organs into my ribcage and I need to go up a back size!

They are a bit pricey at £35, but I signed up to Figleaves before I placed my first order and was sent a 20% off voucher, and I ordered 3 of them so got free delivery too. I ordered a couple of different sizes as I wasn't sure which I would be, and worked out which ones fitted me the best at home. I figure that i'll be going back down sizes after the baby is born, so will definitely get my money's worth!

Although it is highly recommended that you do get measured up, for me trying them on at home was much easier as i've had bad experiences in M&S in the past when they have measured me as 2 back sizes bigger and 2 cup sizes smaller than I was, and when i showed them the stupidly poor fit they said it was the way I was standing!!!

Good luck xxxxx

ps. Have been in these since 9 weeks x

Welcome tutusavvy and any others!!

just popping in quickly to say hellp and yay, there is still a baby with us midwife listened to heartbeat today at 16 week appt and was nice but not very sympathetic with my aches and pains and cold!

she was going to be my friend though as called me nice and slim, even though I'd just asked a question about my bmi going up to 24 now! i also asked a silly question about my urine being tested to see if i was still pregnant but then she listened to heartbeat so hubby and i were happy :j will read back and see what i missed, hope all is well x

Rakkibeth those Anita bra's look great. I think I might try one.

Feeling guilty as hell. Hubby hasn't had sex for 6 weeks. Although every fortnight I have given him some other sexual activity. I have that urgh I so have to give in soon feeling. I don't like sex at the best of times :-s
