What do you do about bras?
My bras do not fit but I don't want to invest a lot of money in new bras if my boobs will outgrow those. Any tips?

Re: What do you do about bras?
Tips? YES!
Around 33 weeks or so, my bras that fit from about 7 weeks onwards began to get tight and uncomfy. I didn't want to invest in yet another sized bra...
soooo, I bought nursing bras from motherhood that come in size S M L XL. They look similar to cropped tank tops with a v-neck... obviously they have the added bennie that they can be pulled to the side to nurse.
But I really love them now becuase they have no wiring, and they're flexible with sizing and comfy.

I bought the same ones toward the end of my last pregnancy. They worked great for me. They are also fairly inexpensive.

Re: What do you do about bras?
Ehhh I stopped wearing them. I just let my DDs flop around.  
I actually went out and bought about 4 new bras in my new size. For me, it was worth the extra money to be comfortable. I did the same with my underwear--spent a little extra money and splurged on the seamless stretchy ones. They fit like a glove.
We're not exactly well off, but I feel it was about $100 that was very well spent.

Re: What do you do about bras?
All of the maternity stores sell bra extenders for around $2. They are totally worth it as they extend the amount of time you can wear your current and new bras. They have been a life saver for me!

I agree with akatjt98, if your cup size just went up 1 notch then buy yourself an extender or two at Motherhood Maternity for $1.50...
You'll likely still fit into the old bra but just need to make sure the bra can wrap comfortably around your body...

Re: What do you do about bras?
I also bought two at the maternity store, just stretchy, no underwire, etc, sized S, M, L, etc. They look like a sports bra sort of.
These were the best thing I bought b/c the stretch with me, as opposed to bras with band sizes that I already wasted $$ on.

I have been wearing sports bras since the beginning of summer. I LOVE them. They are so comfortable, and really keep things "in"

I did this too and it's been great! The same bras have lasted me the entire pregnancy and I went up a couple sizes.

Re: What do you do about bras?
I went to the L'eggs Hanes outlet at the Source Mall and got several bras there. They were very reasonably priced.
