I don't think it would cause that much harm if you had no problems the first time then go for it

I dint actually find underwire uncomfortable provided the bra fits. I just want to know if I can occasionally wear one when breastfeeding lol

I'm 38+5 weeks pregnant this is my first bub. I started as a dd and am now at 12F I generally prefer comfort so I just wear a shirt that isn't tight and where I live it's freezing so I can always just put a jumper on. I had maternity photos done yesterday and I wore a strapless bra with wire and it was so uncomfortable!  I have one wired bra that is not to tight around me and I don't mind that one because it is not tight and I don't think it would be blocking any thing but just helps give my boobs a little extra support to not look saggy lol!

Yea so you understand. Lol isn't it frustrating! And it's like so hard to even my size :-( like I said ik umderwire and breastfeeding bad but but occasionally can't hurt much ?! But when your pregnant I dint think it matters I wore underwire all through last pregnancy and then breastfed but bought nursing bras no wire.

You know idk what to do bc Im going to breastfeed again. But I want one underwire bra for when I go out in public you know so I'm not just sagging and flopping around everywhere :-( I started both pregnancies as a dd then with first went up to a ddd now I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and already a 36G around the house I don't care you know id rather be comfortable ect. But I want to have a good support nursing bra for outings. Do you think wearing underwire like 1_2 times a week while not at home would matter much. I'm a stay at home mom so it's not everyday you know?

The wire can block up your milk ducts and cause problems if you plan on breast feeding.
Also can be very uncomfortable the bigger you get
