As a pregnant woman, I must succumb to the fact that my entire body is going to change, and may stay that way forever.
In the past couple of months I've noticed that absolutely none of my bras fit me any more, and on top of that - even if the cup size fits (with a bra that was always a tad bigger), it feels like a slightly weak person is trying to crush my ribs together throughout the day.
Thus coming to the tragic realisation that I would need to buy maternity bras. I have been trying so hard to put it off, because I have always assumed maternity bras to be like the BIG, unflattering, unshapely, pointy granny bras from the 1950's.. but once I started searching, I was pleasantly surprised to realise that they definitely have come a long way since then.
I went into Bras n' Things to ask for some advice on what's best to do. The lady was most helpful and told me - "That's easy love! We have a beautiful range, just get one size up from what you are now!". See table below;
So if you are a 12DD, you would go to a 14E. If you are a 10B, grab a 12C, and so on.
Once taken to the maternity section, I realised that she definitely was not lying. The bras were gorgeous, and something I would wear even without being maternity wear. My advice would be to head into the store.. try them all on and buy yourself some sexy matching underwear while you're at it. Not only will you leave feeling really great about your new purchases, you will also be a lot more comfortable without that little man crushing your ribs!
