Buying nursing bras?

This is my first baby and I'm not really sure what size I should get. I was a 36 C before pregnancy and I have grown but I've stayed in the same bras I used before. They have gotten tight but I didn't want to buy any more bras for just a couple months.. I've read one or two sizes up? Also, in your experience underwire or no underwire?

I was 36 C and went to 38 C

Underwire is a no.

I would honestly wait till baby is here you have no idea what size you will need and they are not cheap! I also got underwire because without it feels like they're not supported.

I bought 1 next size up nursing bra in my last trimester and by the time I went into labor, I was already spilling out of it. LOL So I would suggest starting out with some generic sized nursing bras or nursing tanks [S/M/L], because your milk will come in and then level off as the baby establishes a nursing routine. Then I bought a few of Motherhood nursing bra's, I went from a 36C to a 36E [DD].

This is what I wore in the beginning. Not sexy, but SO comfy day/night! [made by Lamaze]


I loved the Target nursing tanks...

Okay thanks   I might just get a couple because I'll want them for the hospital. I'll probably get them from Wal-mart or something so I don't get nice ones then find out they don't fit. I didn't think about nursing tanks either. That's a good idea. I didn't think I wanted to wait until baby was here because I don't know if I'll feel up to running out and getting some then.

Oh you will. LOL Stuck in a hospital, then stuck at home...cabin fever will set in and you'll be itching to get out and about!!! Good luck Mama.

Haha yeah I guess that's true too! Thanks  

I bought one nursing bra with my first and it was a waste of money, I got these amazing bras from Walmart this time around that will be so much easier and comfy. Like the one below.
