With just 10 weeks left in my pregnancy, I didn't want to buy a bra just because I'm pregnant that I might not get use out of later. If I grow out of it, fine but I'd rather it double as something useful - like a nursing bra. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104492 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:57:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 104492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i lived in my nursing bras, during my pregnancy, while i breastfed, when i stopped and still now pregnant with baby 2. I never went back. but that's because my boobs grew. and i was too depressed to go and buy the right bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104455 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:27:45 +0000 cupcakemama 104455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't realise maternity bras were different to nursing ones! oops! I just wore nursing from 6 months on. I had already gone through 2 new sets of bras in ever increasing sizes so went nursing in the hope I could use them after LO was born ( which I did, eventually) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104444 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:12:34 +0000 Mrs. Bicycle 104444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially the soft, sleep ones. They are not very supportive, but at least comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104422 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:45:56 +0000 His Barista 104422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I word nursing bras from 9 wks. So comfy! I say go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104400 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:04:20 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 104400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally got nursing bras when I was in the third tri. I got a few of the Bravado Body Silk ones, which were forgiving enough to allow for extra growth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104382 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:21:19 +0000 pastemoo 104382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I don't know, but I ordered a nursing bra for my next maternity/nursing bra needs. I DO hear that you will size up when your milk comes in though, so it might not be re-used... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104379 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:16:24 +0000 Mrsbells 104379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm holding off buying nursing bras because I dont know if I'm going to go up or down in size. I'll wait and see what my boobs look like after the milk comes in and then I'll buy a nursing bra then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104375 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:12:20 +0000 mediagirl 104375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow. My life has officially been changed. So, maybe wearing my 36B's while I'm really a 40C is a big deal... :-) Nursing bras really are just like regular bras other than that hook on the strap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104303 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:48:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 104303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore nursing bras through pregnancy and well after stopping nursing too... I got the sport bra kind and loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104300 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:47:29 +0000 chopsuey 104300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a difference between nursing and maternity?! I would just get nursing bras since you're so close. Get them a size up so they're nice and comfy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104236 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:51:20 +0000 mediagirl 104236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea, @Rock n Roll: woohoo! I'm going to Destination Maternity tonight and just didn't feel like spending the money on a regular bra if I didn't have to. I'm going to try out the nursing bras. Thanks for your advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104234 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:50:39 +0000 MsMini 104234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I went up sizes at like 26 weeks I went straight into nursing bras. They were actually less expensive than normal or maternity bras for my size, and I figured there was at least a chance they could do double duty for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104233 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:49:40 +0000 Andrea 104233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say go for the nursing bras. I wish I had thought of that! Maybe there is a chance you would need another size nursing bra but maybe not so then it would save money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104225 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:45:17 +0000 Rock n Roll 104225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wearing a nursing bra since 14 weeks- I figured if I was going to buy a new bras, they better serve a dual purpose and last awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-nursing-bras-double-as-maternity-bras#post-104222 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:42:16 +0000 mediagirl 104222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am at the point where I need a couple new bras. I'm 10 weeks from my due date. Should I just buy nursing bras or do I need to spend the money on regular bras and then spend it again on nursing bras when the baby is here? </p>
