I haven't bought any new sports bras post-baby. Stupidly, I wore a pre-baby sports bra last month and I think the compression from it gave me my third round of mastitis. 
My boobs are only slightly bigger/fuller with nursing so I didn't expect to not wear my current sports bras that fit even up to her birth! Any suggestions for good support that won't compress too much?

I have a panache bra that is really high impact that has been very comfortable postpartum. For less high impact stuff, though, my absolute favorite, hands down, is the Cake Zest Maternity Nursing bra. It is so freaking absurdly comfy. They sell it for about $70, but i bought it on sale at Destination Maternity for about $40 or so? It's my favorite if I'm not doing a bunch of jumping jacks and stuff

My favorite sports bra is from Victoria's Secret - the incredible. It's comfortable and not restricting at all! They have quite a selection and constantly run a deal/sale on them. I got mine for $35.

@Alivoo01: started a new thread but wanted to ask your opinion on the underwire in the Incredible. Has that caused any issues? It feels super comfortable (didn't see it on sale but went ahead and got it out of desperation).

@ldh112: Nope! I don't even realize it's there. However, I always prefer underwire over no underwire. Even when I was nursing.

@blackbird: Are there any other nursing sports bras you have used? I've been eyeing the cake zest, but I need a REALLY good, high impact nursing bra. I think I'm about an H now.
Underwire is fine for me, but I want to go to some baby bootcamp classes (where you bring the baby with you), so it really has to be good for nursing.

@Anagram: nope 
I wear my panache, but take it off as soon as I get home

@blackbird: darn. I have a really good wacoal sports bra, but it would never work for nursing because it is TIGHT and really holds things in place. And the straps wouldn't easily pull down either. http://www.amazon.com/Wacoal-Womens-Sport-855170-Black/dp/B001T6EIG6/ref=sr_1_5?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1443971729&sr=1-5&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=underwire+sports+bra+high+impact

@avivoca: Can you nurse in it? I see it has velcro straps...is it easy to pull down totally on one side and them put back?

@Anagram: I bought a sports bra I love that has a zip in front. So much easier than pulling it on and off! I am not as large as you, but with the zip maybe you could unzip and nurse under a cover?
