I bought several bras in the next size up in the first few weeks of pregnancy as my boobs seemed to grow straight away. Now after almost 20 weeks those are starting to get tight and I think I'm going to have to look for some in a larger size!
Did your boobs ever stop growing?!

Good question. I'm like you-- I bought a couple new ones right away, but by 20 weeks they were too tight. I bought one more recently, in another size up in cup and band, but am waiting to see what happens before purchasing any others. I wear a lot of stretchy sports bra like bras now. I'm 26 weeks and currently up 2 bands sizes and a full cup size.

I'm at 28 weeks and they seemed to have stopped...but I'm still afraid to buy new bras! I worry that they will poof up and then the new bras = not fit. Augh! I think I might just go ahead and buy a nursing bra..

No...they unfortunately never stopped growing. And then they grew more once LO arrived when my milk came in!

Not really. 
I had to buy new bras twice, once right away (went from 34C to 34DD) and then again at like 24 weeks (34DD to 36DD).

@Foodnerd81: that's so strange... it was literally just this week I started to notice how tight they were getting. It's more the band than cup size this time though. I'm up a cup size and band size at the moment.
@Bookworm: nursing bras scare me a little, I'm trying to put that off as long as possible. Though I think I need something more comfortable than these underwire bras.

My boobs grew immediately, but have been stayed the same size up until this week. I'm 25 weeks and I think my boobs are growing again. I'm already up a cup and band size.

My boobs never grew with my current pregnancy! 
I started off with C cups but went down to small A cups after I weaned.

Mine haven't grown at all. Not noticeably anyway. I might have been a small C cup vs. now a full C cup, but haven't had to buy any new bras yet at all (now 25 weeks). I'm a little worried that they'll go completely out of control once baby comes.

@illumina: The one I bought recently is really stretchy and has no underwire. It's also the ugliest bra I've ever owned, but that's neither here nor there.
It was this one, or something similar: http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/bali-bra-comfort-revolution-wireless-3463?ID=561227&CategoryID=55799#fn=BRAND%3DBali%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D47%26ruleId%3D22%26slotId%3D11
Basically the band is stretchier than normal, so while it's not as supportive and something more structured, it's more comfortable and I feel I have a little more room to grow. It depends what size you are though-- if you are really large chested it probably wouldn't be supportive enough.

@Foodnerd81: that one looks ok. I'll see if I can find something similar in our department stores over here and see how it feels. I was a 32D and am now a 34DD going on 36E so I've always relied on wired for that support.

I've been googling this all morning, haha. I've already gone up one band size and four cup sizes, and these and getting tight. Bras are too expensive!!! It seems to vary from woman to woman.
