My breasts are starting to feel a bit tender and larger, and my old bras are getting uncomfortable. I think I might need some maternity bras soon. When is the best time during pregnancy to start buying pregnancy bras?
Arey, don't squeeze yourself into your old bras, it's not healthy. The moment you feel thoda heavy or uncomfortable, buy a couple of size-up cotton bras or nursing bras. You'll need them anyway later, so why wait and be uncomfortable?
Buy them as soon as your normal bras start feeling tight or digging into your skin, which usually happens around the end of the first trimester. Don't wait until the third trimester or after delivery. Get wireless ones with a bit of stretch so they last longer.
I remember holding off buying them because I thought it was too early, but honestly, around week 12 my breasts were so sore and swollen. Buying comfortable maternity/feeding bras early on was the best decision. Don't suffer in tight underwires, just go get them!
I got so scared when my regular bra size went up by two cups in the second month itself, I thought something was wrong! But my mom told me it's normal. I immediately bought a few comfortable, non-padded maternity bras and it was such a relief.
I felt so overwhelmed when my body started changing so fast in the first trimester. My husband bought me two soft nursing bras in my fourth month and I literally cried because they felt so comfortable. It made me feel so much better about my changing body.
