Nursing bra for VERY large boobs.

Hi, I was 34H pre pregnancy and now at 29 weeks I'm in a 36HH. I've got lots of nursing bras from my first pregnancy a few years ago but unfortunately they are all too small!. I'm now worried how big they are going to get and whether I will find any that go up to the size I may need!! I will go to Bravissimo a couple of weeks before my due date - but not sure how big they go and thinking I may have to buy online. Anyone else a similar size at this stage - if so what size did you go to and where did you get your bras? I need proper bras with support, not crop top type things. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I'm about the same size as you. I got a couple from bravissimo (soft cup) some from molke (comfy and surprisingly supportive but hard to get on and off and I'm expecting to wear around the house) and one from cake maternity (Aussie brand, also soft cup). Not what I'm used to shape wise but not too bad. I've got one from hot milk which has flexi wires and which is most like a normal bra but find they come up a bit small.

I've found it a bit of a stress but the bras do exist!

I got cheap ones for wearing around the house / to sleep in from John Lewis (non-wired, but comfy).

For proper ones look at bravissimo and hot milk https://www.hotmilklingerie.co.uk/ (bravissimo also stocks them)

Hot milk ones were my favourite. I think I ended up with specialist sites like amplebosom.com as I was even bigger than you :) watch out for returns policies though!

You do get bargains on eBay, lots of people buy the wrong size, wear it once then flog it. Once the initial crazy milk frenzy was done, I just wore a normal bra and hoiked them over the cups - stretched the bra out but more comfortable overall!

Not quite as big, but I've gone from a 30G pre-pregnancy to a 32J (DS is 19 months but still breastfeeding, so unsure if they'll go down again).

Bravissimo were fab - I live in Hotmilk Temptation bras now (bought one new but snapped up a couple more on Vinted).

I really liked the Panache Sophie while pregnant/postpartum though, as its softer & not underwired.

Anything non wired turned my cleavage and underboob into a sweaty inferno that resulted in heat rash!
