What size Nursing Bra should I get?

[Tasia32]

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?

AP-If my boobs would have stayed that engorged the whole time I would have been an G cup lmao
With nursing and pumping I managed to keep them down to an E, this time I am already an E so I wonder what they will be when my milk comes in :S

I think I will possiby be a DD too, I hope my boobs don't stay engorged, sounds very painful.

Okay so looks like I will be a dd Yikes. I can remember back to the days of being a b. I'm still going to get measured though I want to make sure I'm comfortable!

Grose- when my milk came in my b's remained engorged the whole time I breastfeed they didn't go down! You are lucky!

I went tot he motherhood store the other day for the same reason.  The woman there told me to plan on moving up one cup size with the milk production.  I purchased a couple "sleep" bras that I thought would work for varying size.  The last thing I will want to do after a c section is go shopping for bras so I picked up a few that should work for a while.  I also got a couple nursing tank tops that hopfully won't need a full bra under them.
here we go...

Thanks GRose!

I would say about 1 size bigger than you are now, the first few days that your milk comes in you might be 2 sizes bigger but they wont stay that big.

I would go to victoria's secret but that would mean I would have to go to a mall and I am just to lazy to do that, lol. But you are right I need to get measured and figure out what size I will need after he is born. I am just a wreck right now, my hormones have really kicked it up a notch in the past week and everything just seems wrong. I won't bore you with any of it. I just could scream though. Thanks for the help AP.

Hard to say! I'm a d now so I can't imagine how much bigger they will be. Wait unitl your milk comes in and go to victoria's secret and get measured then tell them thanks and go buy a nursing bra! LOL. I don't know if they sell nursing bras but at least you can get measured! I would wait though. In the hosp you will be in pj's or a johnny so you won't have to worry it's just going home in one which is no biggy! That is what I'm going to do! Are you going to take a breast feeding class. My older two I tried breast feeding and they were so big I didn't stick with it and when the baby was born she was in the niccu for a month so I didn't keep up with pumping my milk so by the time she could eat I was dried up. With this one I want to breastfeed with no formula so I want to take a class to make sure I'm doing it rigth you can damage your nipple if you do it wrong etc.
