Awkward Question: Heartburn and your bra!

Does anyone else there find their bras are intensifying their heartburn?  I am heavy chested so unfortunately, going without a bra just isn't an option for work, etc.  By the end of my shift, I am dying to rip my bra off because the pressure of the band (which I've never noticed before) is too much on my esophagus and really bothering my heartburn then in turn leads to nausea.  Anyone else out there??  Solutions??  I don't know if a sports bra will help because the bands are snug and also, anyone who is big busted will know that sports bras make your boobs look like a loaf of bread!

You can get a clip called a bra extender that gives your ribs more room at Motherhood. I've loved them.

Out of desperation I wore my bathing suit top tied a little loose today!   Lol stillgot nausea but less pressure.  I was a 34DDD before getting pregnant, carrying all that extra weight through "morning" sickness is no fun!

Sooo with you.. I worry my breast will reach my waist before this child gets here. Im 40DD so its not cute but hubby just knows not to say a word lol.. The sports bra does to look good. But if i am leaving the house for a while just wear cammi over it. But when i have to wear a bra its torture. Feels like child food is in my chest and bra adding to that. Tums pls.
