I love meeting new Mamma's and Mamma's-to-be. It's one of the things that drew me to starting this business. It's such an exciting (and slightly terrifying) time in your life and being as prepared as possible makes the transition SO much easier! I often get emails from pregnant Mamma's asking about the timing of getting fitted for a nursing bra and it's almost like a trick question! When your pregnant and uncomfortable in your current bras, I always recommend that if you're going to invest in new bras, they should be nursing bras (if you're planning on breastfeeding) but many of times, your cup (and band) size in pregnancy is going to change after you have the baby. So, I usually recommend you try on a few nursing bras now that are designed to grow with you and could be worn towards the end of pregnancy when those underwires are so painful, but can also be worn well into your postpartum days (or you nursing career, if you will)! Three great options are: Cake Cotton Candy, Cake Rock Candy and Bella Materna Anytime Bra. I also always recommend grabbing a nursing tank top or nursing pajamas for the hospital. They are key when all you feel like is a milk machine! As for fitted cup sized nursing bras, I recommend waiting to get measured for those until a few weeks after you deliver when your milk is established but that is completely up to you! I'm always happy to meet pregnant Mamma's to get them set up for those first few weeks and then to come back later and meet the little one :) Perks of the job!
Happy Spring and good luck to all pregnant Mamma's out there!
