Maternity Bras

Aargh I am getting fed up of bras, I hate bra shopping, it is a right pain and I am not particularly keen on getting measured.  My normal bra has started to dig in as it is underwired and isn’t a maternity bra, I also though that when I am in hospital I don’t want an underwire as I want to be more comfortable if I am in bed. 

So I started my hunt for a non wired maternity bra.  I ordered a Royce Emily Nursing Bra in 32H (same size as my current bra) and when it came it was too tight around my body so I thought I needed a 34.  I went into Mothercare to try on their Blooming Marvellous twin pack bras and a 34H was too big, a 32G fit perfectly round me but the cup was too small.  Typically they hadn’t got a 32H – grrrr!!!  Anyway I went online and the same bra set was £10 cheaper on their website so I ordered them.  When they came they were too small, both around my body and in the cup – how does that work???  So I took them back to get my money back and am still without a non wired bra! 

Would be glad of any suggestions??  I don’t want to spend a fortune as I won’t be wearing it long.  However could do with getting one from the High Street so I can try it on.  I struggle with the sizes though being small around my torso and big in the cup, some bigger cups don’t start from 32 and will start at 34.

Blooming Marvellous Maternity Support Belt

I have been struggling this week with really bad round ligament pain, it's completely stopped me from doing things on a few occasions - I think sometimes I forget I am 5 months pregnant and continue to do everything as normal!  So after reading some info online I decided I needed some support, I wanted to buy from the High Street straight away so I decided on this from Mothercare.
I ended up with a medium, thought I would be a small as I am an 8/10 in trousers but it just wasn't quite big enough.  So far I think it's brilliant, very discreet (some looked like real brace type things = very attractive, not!) and haven't had any pain since wearing it and we went on a walk for about 2 hours while I wore it yesterday.  Here's my gorgeous boy in the lovely sunshine after having a great time swimming in the lake :)
