If you've already bought your nursing bras..

How much bigger than the bra you're using now did you buy?

I'm not sure how much bigger I should go..my tata's are gynourmous as it is (um..42DDD) and there's no milk in them yet!!

Re: If you've already bought your nursing bras..

I went to a place in the city that specializes in nursing bras, they fitted me- turns out I'm 2 back-sizes smaller & 3 cup-sizes bigger than I thought, and the bras they advised me to buy were 1 further cup-size up. So I thought I was a 40DD, turns out I'm a 36G (I don't think the brands they sell do the dbl/trpl letters), the bras I bought were 36H. Pre-pregnancy, I was a 34D. HTH

I'm a 36C and I use the same size when I nurse. My boobs only get bigger for the first few weeks.

Buy a stretchy bra in your size now, and then see if your boobs get ginormous or stay the same.

I was told to go up one number and one letter. It worked for me. Most of the bras are so strechy. I only bought 2 for the hospital to make sure they were the right size. Once my milk came in, I went and bought more.

And let me tell you: The nursing tanks ROCK!!!!! They cover your belly when you lift your shirt to nurse. I have no idea why I didn't wear them in the beginning.

I wouldn't buy more than one or two before having the baby -- its really hard to predict what your size will be. Or stick to the bras that cover a range of sizes.

i went up one cup size.
