Every time I went to go get them (like, I was mid-30s weeks preggo), I kept getting warned that my boobs will grow massively and that I should wait a little longer. Finally, a week before I was due, I bought some. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-fitting-timing#post-145297 Wed, 02 May 2012 19:09:35 +0000 cvbee 145297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how you would only buy them after....what on earth would you wear for the first 10 days?! </p> <p>I got mine in third trimester and the person who fitted me just made sure that there was plenty of room in them. They are designed to be a bit more forgiving than normal bras. </p> <p>And by the way, I go through way more nursing bras than normal bras because they get wet from the milk. I am washing one almost every day and am glad I have 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-fitting-timing#post-144478 Wed, 02 May 2012 05:37:13 +0000 pastemoo 144478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: this is what my local store recommended-- a week to 10 days post partum </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-fitting-timing#post-133867 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:12:54 +0000 calsmom 133867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emahlee: I wouldn't recommend doing it until after you give birth. I bought a couple of nursing sports bras a few weeks ago, and they already don't fit at 39 weeks lol :P. They were loose when I bought them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-fitting-timing#post-133821 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:32:57 +0000 betsyboop 133821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 3 weeks away, and went to Destination Maternity yesterday to get measured, and the girl looked at me like I had 4 heads. She said I should come back in a week or so. They were having a buy 3 get 1 free nursing bra event that ended yesterday so I just guessed and bought bras but will exchange them for the correct size after I deliver. In the meantime, I bought one nursing tank.<br /> I agree that after the 38th week is cutting it close! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-fitting-timing#post-133816 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:29:10 +0000 Weagle 133816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one from Target that is a size larger than my pregnancy size based on recommendations from friends. Then I'll get something nicer once BFing is established and things get normal in that area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-fitting-timing#post-133808 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:24:29 +0000 pelikila 133808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 days post partum. I didn't want to spend money on something that might or might not fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-fitting-timing#post-133807 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:23:53 +0000 emahlee 133807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When should I get measured for nursing bras? The advice I've been given varies between 36th week to 39th. Getting fitted anytime after the 38th week seems to be cutting it close. When were you fitted? </p>
