    I got an extendor for the back of my bra. I find that my sturnum? pokes out a lot more in pregnancy and my bras get really uncomfy. But if I go up too far in the back measurement, the cup sizes get bigger too.

    Couldn't get one to fit me properly, so just bought a nice comfy bra where the cup sizes fitted, and a bra extendor :)

    Debenhams do fab maternity bras! I was a 32GG pre- pregnancy and used to shop in bravissimo but got fed up with the ridiculous prices. So I tried a Debenhams one and have always shopped there since.
    I'm just about to buy another maternity one as this size is getting tight now ...

    I'm wondering if I might actually get proper boobs by the end of this pregnancy! The other day I put a push up bra on and for the first time ever my boobs actually had cleavage like the ones in a picture! :rotfl:

    My friend was a similar size to me and went up to about a c/d, she's like I just can't get used to seeing proper boobs when I look down, it's just odd! She got more stretch marks there than on her stomach!

    Becca Debenhams was the first place I checked, dont think they do maternity bras in size gigantic sadly but agree they are really good, I like the Gorgeous range normally.

    They only have a few but http://www.debenhams.com/lingerie/dd-bras/maternity-nursing-bras there are some here. Go up to a HH (even J in some back sizes) x

    Been away to a hotel for a few days. Was supposed to be a rest but feel worn out now I'm home!
    For all the ladies feeling movement, do you feel it all the time?
    I only felt her for the first time (like a strange popping) last Fri at 20 weeks. I know she's active because of the somersaults on the scan lol but since then I've not felt much. I assumed by 21 wks (today) it would be non stop! Certainly nothing external yet! I have my hands on my belly most evenings just waiting... X
