Is it OK not to wear a bra during pregnancy?
Some women love them, some women think they’re uncomfortable – but there’s no health-related reason to stop you from wearing one while you’re pregnant. The concern about underwire bras and pregnancy is that the wire could inhibit blood flow and hamper breastmilk production, which begins well before your baby arrives.

Fitting Your Nursing Bras Set 1: As a good rule of thumb: Add one cup size and one back size onto your usual pre-pregnancy bra size. So if you usually wear a 32C, start by trying a 34D. These bras should feel comfortably secure on the tightest setting, giving you plenty of room to adjust the fit as you grow.
How do I measure myself for a maternity bra?
Pull the measuring tape around your back and beneath your armpits. The measuring tape should lie above your breast tissue. While looking into your mirror, ensure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor around your back. Confirm that there are no fingers under the tape and exhale.
How should I buy a maternity bra?
When you’re shopping for a maternity bra, consider the following:
- Support: look for wide straps, sides and under-bust band, and a deep centre at the front.
- Coverage: it’s best to have as much fabric as possible over your breasts.
- Adjustability: a minimum of four hook positions will allow your bra to grow with you.

The main difference between a maternity bra and a nursing bra is that nursing bras have clasps or panels that allow easy access to the nipples for breastfeeding, while maternity bras don’t.
How many cup sizes do you go up when pregnant?
