Bra size changes

[Anonymous]

I'm 7 weeks and am feeling the need to get new bras .. before i go out and buy a bunch i wanted to check how often you end up changing bra size through pregnancy so I know how many to buy each time . Mine is not a size that is available in stores (32G pre pregnancy) so I usually have to look online/ order a few different sizes /types etc and see what fits..

I went up one size first trimester. Now I feel like I need to go up in band.
I am 36 DDD now. I highly recommend Ebay. I have bought Soma bras from Ebay for the last year. You can usually buy brand new for 25, or used (like one wear, not really used) for under $20. Given the uncertainty of how long you will be a particular size, and yet needing a really good bra for the size, can't go wrong!
If in doubt, go to store, try on and write down style and size to search online.

I bought these at 7 or 8 weeks and they are still working for me at 20 weeks. The S/M/L sizing helps. Stretchy and super-comfortable. I've gone up one spot in the band, but still have plenty of band room to go.

I'm also large chested and found buying the bra extenders on Amazon worked best for the first and second trimesters. I fluctuated A LOT and then again PP so it saved me hundreds of dollars on new bras every few weeks (34G+ is not in the $20 for 2 bras at Target category).

I like the spanx bras and natori bras tshirt bras personally because they are super stretchy and don't dig into your skin if you need to go up a band or even cup size. I started wearing these a while ago because I'd go up a cup size on my period. Also, get something with fuller coverage. One size fits all undies are also the best!

I am a similar size to you (generally wear panache, freya or fantasie). I am up two cup sizes at 25 weeks and now I need to go up in my band size (usually a 28/30 and going to go up to a 32 for now - wearing a 32GG at the moment). I tend to carry weight in my bust (when my weight fluctuates I see it in my bra size first), so I imagine I will go up a size in the cup and maybe another in the band as my belly grows. I find that the soft cups are very forgiving for the changes going on.

Yes, they work really well. I just have a 3 pack from Amazon in a few colors.
