Maternity bras- TMI?

I woke up on Friday morning and notice on my way to the shower that my boobs have gotten HUGE. I'm 17w1d and I was waiting all through my first trimester for this to happen but never did. Now my bras don't fit anymore. I went to motherhood maternity about 2 weeks ago but all they had were nursing bras,not in my size, and the saleslady was not helpful at all in figuring out my size. I went to Target this afternoon and bought 2 bras that are just ok. So I want to know, where does everyone buy their bras? How many did you buy and did you have go out and buy new ones after the baby was born?

Honestly, I bought bras from Walmart to get me through the inbetween phase where I wasn't ready for nursing bras yet.

I found a style I like for about $9 and as I've grown bigger, I buy a couple more in a bigger size. I've gone all the way from my 34B to and 38C all in the same style. I did buy one nursing bra from Sears for $20, but keeping the receipt incase it doesn't fit me when I need it.

Just a suggestion, dont bother spending a ton of $$ on bras, find something that is comfortable and supports well but doesnt cost a fortune, because you're going to grow out of it soon enough and need a bigger one.

Victorias Secret was having their clearance sale so I just bought a few bras online.

I went to Blum's in Patchogue. They measured me and helped me find what fit properly. They have alot of different brands -- Bali, Warner's, Lily, Vanity Fair etc. If you don't live too far away, it's worth the trip there. They aren't the cheapest bras around (prices the same as department stores rather than Target) but you know you are getting good service and quality. Buying cheap ones is okay, but I've found that since I'm PG, the cheap ones really hurt. I don't know if it is because they don't give as much support or what, but the underwire KILLS me by the end of the day.

I bought nusring bras at Mimi Maternity and they are awesome! Plus, I figure I can use them when I breastfeed. They do strech a little so as I grew they were great!

I went to Destination Maternity in Huntington. The sales girl was very helpful. She measured me and helped me get the right size.
