Just felt uncomfortable going unsupported. These were my favorite. </p> <p><a href="http://www.motherhood.com/mobile/Product.asp?Product_Id=91178010361&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC29" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/mobile/Product.asp?Product_Id=91178010361&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC29</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1806519 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 18:01:17 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 1806519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about stretch marks, but in my mind, super heavy boobs with no support will sag more. But my boobs hurt so bad right away when pregnant, that I started wearing a bra to sleep. Then I kept using it because I was worried about the sag. Then I wore a nursing one post pregnancy for all the reasons listed above. The nursing one was so incredibly soft, it was blue canoe - kinda expensive but I needed something and it was all the hospital sold. You could start with a nursing bra to get good use out of one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1806181 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:59:59 +0000 limabeanbabies 1806181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did end up buying one and using it most of my first pregnancy. Definitely did not prevent stretch marks, but I was just a lot more comfortable with it. And it was nice to keep nursing pads in place postpartum, as others have said. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1801496 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:36:44 +0000 snowjewelz 1801496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear Coobies too but I guess anything that looks like that should work! I wear it to sleep too just b/c they get so sore if I don't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800304 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 04:01:29 +0000 turquoisemama 1800304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to wear one until I got pregnant. I'd actually prefer not to wear one now, but my boobs are still so sore that keeping them contained helps me feel more comfortable. I have three Coobie bras and I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800222 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:39:25 +0000 Purpledaisy 1800222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I think that sales lady was just trying to sell you more stuff. It was super uncomfortable for me to sleep without a bra for the first 7-8 months pp. And I leaked a lot so I needed to wear breast pads to bed or I would wake up soaked. I just wore some sports bras that I got at target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800215 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:32:39 +0000 bhbee 1800215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I hate free boobing too! I am uncomfortable in nothing no matter pregnant or not. </p> <p>I always wear a shelf bra tank to sleep. Contains things just enough. When nursing I also used them to hold in pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800210 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:27:27 +0000 Zbug 1800210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do bc the opposite side leaks when nursing (still!). I just have the target ones. They are fine but don't think they would do much to prevent sagging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800196 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:14:32 +0000 spaniellove 1800196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total sales tactic. My boobs grew a fair amount while I was pregnant and I was more comfortable without a sleep bra most of the time. No stretch marks, and whatever slight sagginess is I think from when my milk came in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800188 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:09:12 +0000 blackbird 1800188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a target light sports bra-in an XL, which is basically a shelf bra for me and hardly supportive. But having your boobs unsupported isn't good for the tissue and at my size, I just don't do it. I'm all uncomfortable free boobing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800185 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:05:30 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1800185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore one for some of my pregnancy, when my boobs were SUPER sore. I just wore a cheap cotton 'sports' bra (lol...that did nothing for support) to sleep. It helped with the pain - but I doubt it had anything to do with sagging/stretch marks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800128 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:25:57 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1800128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear one to keep my nursing pads in place because I had a pretty forceful letdown on both sides while nursing and didn't want soaked pjs, I think the stretch marks/sagging is pretty bogus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800108 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:06:44 +0000 mrs. 64 1800108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah that sounds bogus. I do wear a tank top with shelf bra now because I'm nursing, but otherwise I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800107 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:06:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1800107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started sleeping with a soft bra while I was pregnant-- not to prevent sagging or stretch marks, but because my boobs were SO sensitive that my t-shirt rubbing on them was painful. I got a really soft cotton one and it was lovely. </p> <p>Then I started sleeping in a sleep nursing bra or nursing tanks after C was born, to hold the nursing pads in place. I rarely wear the pads anymore but I like sleeping in a nursing tank since it does feel a bit supportive and it makes feeding the baby easier in the morning. I'm just used to it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800101 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:02:26 +0000 Boheme 1800101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do just because I don't like sleeping without one. I got the Bravado sleep bra from Target, and it is heavenly! </p> <p>I also think that sales lady is full of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-bra#post-1800096 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:00:45 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1800096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you wear a sleep bra? Why?... and do you like it? The lady at Motherhood Maternity said I need one to prevent sagging and stretch marks. Not sure if I believe that! </p>
