Help! I can't be the only person in this category! I am 8-1/2 mos pregnant. Everything I read about maternity/nursing bras seems to stress the cup size change. Well, for me, the cup size has hardly seemed to budge but my band width has increased two sizes! I am normally a 38B, currently wearing 40B but probably really in need of a 42B! Which is about impossible to find, I'm learning. It seems if the band width is above 40, manufacturers assume your cup size is larger, too.
I found one 40B at Motherhood which seems to fit o.k. (I tried on four other identical bras and the others were too tight, so I don't know if the one I got was just a fluke). I broke down and bought another bra in 42C because the band was comfortable, but the cup still "poofs" a little bit. Maybe after delivery when my milk comes in, the C will be just fine but I am very frustrated as I'd like to have a few good fitting bras NOW (and on-hand in case baby comes early).
Can anyone in a similar situation recommend a brand? It seems like everyone's favorite is Bravado but it looked to me like they also cut off B cups at 40.
