Your breasts will become an average 10-18 ounces heavier on each side making a supportive maternity bra a must. Once your breasts become sore and your normal bra is tight (usually by the 3rd or 4th month of pregnancy) it is time to buy a maternity bra.
If you plan on breastfeeding your baby, you will want a supportive nursing bra with pull-down panels for easy access for nursing. If you don’t plan on breastfeeding, it is still important to get a maternity bra that will provide support to the breast tissue.
Tips on buying a maternity/nursing bra:
- Your bra should contain at least 3 hooks and can be worn comfortable on the tightest hook when you buy it. This allows plenty of room for growth as your progress through your pregnancy.
-Make sure it fits under your breasts and does not ride up putting pressure on your breast tissue, which can lead to an infection.
-Look for bras that have a full-coverage, stretchy cup and contain breathable fabric.
