I'm now a dedicated no underwire bra wearer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-233005 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 19:31:09 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 233005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you *aren't allowed* to wear them! I just think they are super uncomfortable towards the end of the day because of swelling.<br /> I wear an under-wire if we go out to dinner or to people's parties o something....But around the house, grocery stores and to bed: I wear seamless and no wire, for my personal comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232937 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 18:25:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 232937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore underwires my entire pregnancy and still wear them while I am nursing! I think you're okay to wear them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232891 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:43:56 +0000 sulli301 232891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore underwires for my first pregnancy &amp; for 13+ months nursing (underwire nursing bras!) &amp; am wearing them this pregnancy as well. I think as long as you are aware to look for it, it should be okay for most people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232885 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:33:40 +0000 chrispygal 232885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is about clogging ducts, but I wore underwire the entire time and have had no issues. I still wear it and am 3 weeks post delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232883 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:31:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 232883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have worn them throughout my pregnancy without incident (I am almost 34 weeks). I have only heard that underwire bras can cause problems with breastfeeding, although other than presenting a comfort issue, I have never known anyone to have problems during pg or post-partum due to wearing underwire bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232870 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:18:53 +0000 SleepyMonkey 232870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've heard that you shouldn't wear them when you are breastfeeding because of the clogged ducts, but when you are pregnant - i'm not sure. i have one with underwire and another that doesn't, and i haven't had any problems with the underwire so far. for me, its about comfort and i was lucky enough to find one that is super comfy with an underwire. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232869 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:18:39 +0000 matador84 232869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I guess I should add this is only since I was about 18 weeks or so. My boobs aren't big at all, but just the feeling of my belly getting bigger and the boobs...I just felt gross and needed some support without being cutoff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232867 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:17:12 +0000 StrawberryBee 232867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I hope this isn't the case! all my bras are underwires :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232859 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:10:59 +0000 matador84 232859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been able to wear any underwire because it's just not comfortable for me. I've been sticking with VS yoga bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bras-while-pregnant-why-no-underwires#post-232853 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:06:03 +0000 Jumpingjacks 232853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read somewhere, something about not wearing bras with underwires in them while you're pregnant, but I don't know the rationale. Has anyone heard this? is it because the wire can press and clog you're ducts or something? </p>
