What size Nursing Bra should I get?

About how many cup sizes do you think I will get after my milk comes in? I need to buy a nursing bra for my bag that I am packing for the hospital and I am not sure about how many cup sizes will I go up?

I bought a few to have on hand and it was good because I was in the hospital for a week after my son was born and I wouldn't have been able to go out and that is not something dh could have picked up.  I went up a cup size.  I got mine at Target for a really cheap price compared to motherhood and other stores.

I didn't really grow much after my milk came in, I did go from a B to DD while I was pregnant, but at the end after Elijah was born, I didn't get any bigger. But like chantal21 said, I'd wait until your milk comes in, you may go up or stay the same.

It's hard to tell so I waited until my milk came in to get one. I got one of those night nursing bras (can't remember what they are called) but they are not supportive or anything (kinda like a sports bra) but it worked until I figured out what size I was once my milk came in. I think I went up one cup size once it came in. But right  now I am the size I was once my milk came in with my son so I know I will be bigger this time around. So I may just wait again until it comes in this time around as well. I had gotten a bra from motherhood and it was kinda cheap and it was not comfortable so I never actually used a nursing bra while nursing, just a reg. bra. So I think I may buy some online. They are more expensive, but should be worth it.
