Sizes and shapes. There is a gadget sold in Canada at La Vie en Rose (can be ordered online) for $6.99 CND where you can open up the band size. So like from a 36 to a 38. I assume they're sold elsewhere as well. Might help with the transitions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563393 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 16:42:24 +0000 Pollywog 2563393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get this bra: <a href="http://bravadodesigns.com/collections/nursing-bras-and-tanks/products/body-silk-seamless-nursing-bra?variant=6665528257" rel="nofollow">http://bravadodesigns.com/collections/nursing-bras-and-tanks/products/body-silk-seamless-nursing-bra?variant=6665528257</a></p> <p>It grows and shrinks with you. I went from 32c to 34dd at 15 weeks to 38d at 36 weeks to 38h at peak engorgement to 34d while nursing. The same bra has worked tgr whole time. It isn't sexy, but it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563388 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 16:30:08 +0000 MaryM 2563388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Plainpistachio: If you're a 32, I'd probably go with a smaller size. I was a 36/38 and was in between the large and XL. There's a LOT of room in the cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563387 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 16:24:43 +0000 Plainpistachio 2563387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetiepie and @marym thanks! I'm going to buy a large and try it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563385 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 16:11:47 +0000 MaryM 2563385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: That's the one I got. I ordered a L and XL at first, then once I figured out which fit better, I found a deal on ordering two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563383 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 16:07:41 +0000 SweetiePie 2563383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They will definitely keep growing and at least temporarily hit a peak after birth! They may not grow at the same insane rate as they already have, but they will probably keep growing. And my rib cage expansion was almost worse than my boob expansion (@Foodnerd81).<br /> I highly, highly recommend the Bravado Silk Seamless nursing bra:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bravado-Body-Silk-Seamless-Nursing/dp/B000XV7ORI" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Bravado-Body-Silk-Seamless-Nursing/dp/B000XV7ORI</a></p> <p>Now, full disclosure - I didn't get mine until AFTER I gave birth because I wanted a comfortable nursing bra that gave support to my enormous (34 G) boobs. But it was so so so comfortable I was really sad to give it up when my boobs started to shrink back to a normal size. I really wish I had them during pregnancy. The support and comfort are incredible.</p> <p>I went with a Large and it worked great for me. I ended up getting 4 of them (because PP you will have plenty of leaks and will have to wash them frequently). </p> <p>For at home/less support, I found coobie bras to be great for lounging. They won't hold things in if you are worried about that in public. But they give minimum support so they aren't just hanging heavy while at home. And way more comfortable than a sports bra in my opinion (sports bras hurt my rib cage almost just as much as an underwire). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563381 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:58:23 +0000 MaryM 2563381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched to stretchy nursing bras around the second trimester in my last pregnancy. Underwires were getting uncomfortable, and I'd gone from a D to a G, so the stretchy ones were way more comfortable. </p> <p>I think I got Bravado brand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563375 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:50:13 +0000 MrsSCB 2563375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also mostly grew toward the beginning -- now at 30 weeks, my cup size hasn't changed much since the first tri. However, as the bump gets higher and bigger I'm starting to feel a bit suffocated by my band :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563369 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:28:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2563369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My rib cage expanded faster than my cup size. I ended up buying two sizes (one bigger than the last) then gave up and wore stretchy bras. That was my first pregnancy. Weirdly for my second it didn't really change that much at all until my stomach got so big it pushed up into the band. </p> <p>Nursing and maternity bras aren't the most flattering but are usually stretchy and can accommodate some growing, but 15 weeks is pretty early to invest in those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563368 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:25:28 +0000 Autumnmama79 2563368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a DD before this last pg and was fitted for a nursing bra at 32ish weeks -size "I". Fill it out nicely while breastfeeding. My boobs are huge right now! </p> <p>They will keep growing and then grow a lot when your milk comes in. Get a bigger bra now with some room to grow and then another in the third tri. Sports bras are good for pregnancy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563361 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:16:42 +0000 Eko 2563361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I quickly ballooned in the first trimester. I only went up one more cup size between the second and third trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-breast-growth-and-bras#post-2563357 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:05:32 +0000 Plainpistachio 2563357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in my first pregnancy at 15 weeks, and I have to admit I'm surprised by my body changes! The books and apps say that entering my second trimester, I've likely gained 5 pounds and gone up a cup size. Shyeah, thanks app. Actually, I've gained 15 and gone up 3 cup sizes, from a D to a G! My boobs are giant. It's insane. Anyways, I don't know what to expect, will they just keep growing? I can't just go out and buy bras for 32 G if I outgrow for 3rd tri? What do you do for this? Are there growing-boob-mommy-bras? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-attending-or-want-to-attend-big-city-moms-biggest-baby-shower-event-in-nyc-wednesday#post-1234513 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:02:19 +0000 LindsayInNY 1234513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did it go?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-attending-or-want-to-attend-big-city-moms-biggest-baby-shower-event-in-nyc-wednesday#post-1213301 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:37:35 +0000 BronxvilleBump 1213301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleBug You have me curious who Baby Guy NYC is now!

My computer would not let me buy tickets online so I asked my husband to do it from his work.</p> <p>Well....I just called my husband asking for the Ticket information and he said "DOH"..... "I am so sorry honey, I forgot".</p> <p>I just went to the website..... SOLD OUT</p> <p>(Sigh)</p> <p>No City Moms Big Baby Shower for my first baby :(</p> <p>I should have not waited so long.

Thanks I will :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-attending-or-want-to-attend-big-city-moms-biggest-baby-shower-event-in-nyc-wednesday#post-1209209 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:14:05 +0000 SAHM0811 1209209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BronxvilleBump: I'd probably go again if I wasn't in CA now! Btw, I meant to say in my last post... That the "big" prize was a diaper pail, but it wasn't the only thing I went home with! Lots of other samples and coupons and freebies. I did recoup some of the admission price by selling things I didn't need via a local mom's group. That deal sounds great... Report back if u go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-attending-or-want-to-attend-big-city-moms-biggest-baby-shower-event-in-nyc-wednesday#post-1209207 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:13:07 +0000 Dandelion 1209207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally go if I were in NY! I'm hoping an event like this will be in the Charlotte area soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-attending-or-want-to-attend-big-city-moms-biggest-baby-shower-event-in-nyc-wednesday#post-1209185 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:05:00 +0000 BronxvilleBump 1209185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome information, thank you @SAHM0811! It is a bit more than I'd like to pay but hoping I can maybe go in with another mom for the "couple deal" before it sells out. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-attending-or-want-to-attend-big-city-moms-biggest-baby-shower-event-in-nyc-wednesday#post-1209182 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:02:39 +0000 SAHM0811 1209182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to this twice! Once when pg with #1 and a second time when #2 was about 4 months old. It's a fun event... It has gotten more expensive throughout the years, but you do go home with a lot of things. One year, they gave away Aprica strollers! Of course, I went to the event right after that hoping they'd give out something of the same caliber or bigger, but I went home with a diaper pail... Have fun if you go!! </p>
