I'm just past 33 weeks and trying to get my hospital bag(s) packed!
I bought a couple bras over the wknd that fit me now... will they fit when milk comes in? Or should I buy a size up?

I'm working on my hospital bag too, and I think I am actually going to bring nursing tanks instead of bras so I don't need to worry about cup size.

I wish I had waited until my milk came in to buy bras. I would suggest buying some nursing tanks from Target and then buy bras once your milk comes in. For me, it was my bra size went down (from 40 to 36) and my cup went up from my normal B (during my whole pregnancy) to a D once my milk came in.

I'm the opposite of @mediagirl, my boobs changed at the beginning of my pregnancy, but didn't change at all when my milk came in. They got a little firmer/fuller, but never changed cup size. I would suggest getting a nursing sleep bra and soft cup/sports bra for that fit you okay now, and then once your milk comes in and you are established, go out and pick up a few nice bras (I prefer underwire, I need the support) after a few weeks. Nursing tanks were never enough support for me, I need a proper bra to feel comfortable.
