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?
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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!
-
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
-
I wore nursing bras through pregnancy and well after stopping nursing too... I got the sport bra kind and loved it.
-
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.
-
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
-
@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...
-
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.
-
I word nursing bras from 9 wks. So comfy! I say go for it!
-
Yes, especially the soft, sleep ones. They are not very supportive, but at least comfortable.
-
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)
-
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.
-
@chopsuey119: I guess I was just thinking of maternity as pregnancy. 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.
