Buying a nursing bra over the internet may seem like a foreboding task but stay with me for awhile. My advice for women who experience such growing pains in pregnancy is to NOT buy a maternity bra. Breastfeeding mothers who buy maternity bras will have to buy, essentially, the same bra again.
Maternity bras are a marketing idea.
You don't need one. Consider purchasing a nursing bra even if you are undecided about breastfeeding, or intend to use an artificial baby milk. Many women decide to breastfeed late in pregnancy as they become better informed about the benefits of breastfeeding. Even though your first size change may not be the final size you wear for nursing your newborn, you will probably find that after several months of breastfeeding you may return to that size. These days, it is possible to find comfort and support in a pretty bra.
