why cant I find a nursing bra in my size?

[MasonsMum]

I wonder if anyone knows where I could get a nursing bra in a 32B? I am 35 weeks and starting to panic that I don't have one! they all seem to start at bigger sizes! do you need big boobs to breast feed now! I understand when you are pregnant your boobs grown, but at a 32B that's mine grew!

When ur milk comes in you may go up a size or 2! until then get a sports bra that's what I've been living in m&s do a cotton 2 pack for £20 and just pull the straps down till ur ready to get one or how ever many of u have loads of milk u may find u leak thru ur breast pads so I'd say 3 is good. ..mothercare used to have a measuring guide online which I found handy There not cheap for something that ur only use for a little while. .. Have u tried Debenhams ? Good luck not long to go xx

thank you! I got a non wire one from asda for £6 which is really comfy so I might just get another couple until I see what happens. this is my second child but first time breast feeding so everything is new to me and as usual I am panicking for nothing. you would think it wasn't possible for me to go out and buy things after the baby is born xx

I agree with babymother's comment. Dont worry too much about buying a 32B go for a few sizes up (32C / 38B) at least then you'll be comfortable once the baby comes.

I am a 42E and am having a nightmare getting them aswell. I emailed Mothercare and they told me they have stopped making bigger than size 40! You would think they would cater for all sizes as all new breast feeding mummies need them!

Thank you! Debenhams have 20% off just now too x

I know! I don't understand it, its the mothercare ones I liked too. Maybe they just assume if your boobs are not average size you will use formula? Lol its so silly! Hope you manage to find some x

I'm a 36K as my normal bra size (from Bravissimo) and have to wear underwired to be fit to be seen in public. Size 16 on bottom half and size 22 on top because of bra size (otherwise I can;t get clothes to fit over my bust. I've no idea where i'd be able to find nursing bras to fit when the time comes...

Don't worry about going up one or two sizes compared to your usual bra size, your boobs could change in size after you give birth and they are even more likely to do so if you're going to breastfeed.

Many nursing bras have several features that mean that you can adapt the bra size to accomodate your boobs (before and after breastfeeding).

I found some really nice ones on vertbaudet.co.uk/
