When do I buy my Maternity Bra?

You will need to switch to a maternity bra from the 4th month of pregnancy but if you feel uncomfortable beforehand don't wait!

It's important to get fitted regularly throughout your pregnancy as your size is likely to change several times. Most lingerie stores and some maternity stores will offer a free fitting service with a trained bra fitter or if you're unable to do this please use our bra calculator below.

When buying a maternity bra and if you are less than 30 weeks pregnant, you should be able to make your bra bigger on the band by at least one hook. Most maternity bras come with 4-6 back adjusters to accomodate your changing size. The cups should feel comfortable and you should not be spilling over the top of the bra. The fabric should enclose the breast fully to enable comfort and good support. It's very important you don't continue to wear your regular wired bra as the hard rigid wires can create pressure on the devlopment of your milk supply.

When do I buy my Nursing Bra?

From about 36 weeks you can get measured for your nursing bra.

You need to have enough space to fit a breast pad and to accommodate your milk filling up your cup inbetween feeds.

When your milk first starts to come in you may find your cup size will jump around for the first couple of weeks until you settle into more of a routine with your feeds. It is essential you wear a good fitting supportive bra as your breasts will grow inbetween feeds and could cause the skin to stretch if you weren't properly supported. All nursing bras have a natural breathable lining, easy to open and close clips on the drop down cup, 4-6 hook and eyes to accommodate your changing shape and supportive comfortable straps.

You will need 4-5 bras, one to wear, one spare, one to sleep in and one or two will always be in the wash!

And finally breastfeeding can be very difficult to begin with - don't give up! If you ask there is lots of help. Most hospitals have a dedicated person to help with breastfeeding and your community midwife or health visitor should be able to recommend a support group once you're home.

Please find our Bra Size Calculator below to determine your bra size. It's important that you wear the correct size bra. According to most sources 70% - 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra.

To get the best and most accurate size have a friend or partner help you with the measuring as it can be a little awkward to measure on your own.

You will need to make two measurements. Make the measurements whilst wearing an un padded comfortable bra. Take all measurements in inches. Round up or down to the nearest whole inch.
1st Measurement - For your under-bust size pull the tape measure around your rib cage underneath your breasts, placing it just under your bust at the front and making sure the tape measure is flat and straight across your back. Pull the tape quite tightly and measure in inches.
2nd Measurement - For your cup size repeat the measurement but this time measure across the fullest part of your breasts. Make sure the tape measure is fairly loose.

Note: The online bra size calculator only produce's a guide measurement. Its always best to get professionally measured.
