Maternity & Nursing Bra Fitting

Heather and Sarah have a mission. To ensure that every pregnant and breastfeeding mum is wearing the correctly sized bra. It has become a major worry to us both that so many women are badly supported and incredibly uncomfortable. And there is so much bad advice available. During the last few years we have had ladies visit us in extremely badly fitted bras that they have just bought, and not cheaply....

One lady bought her maternity bras at 19 weeks pregnant, but the shop didn't tell her that her ribcage would expand so she grew out of them and had to buy more 6 weeks later.

Another lady had a four week old baby, so she went to a high street store who sell maternity and nursing bras because she wanted to be properly fitted. They sold her size 36B. She was incredibly uncomfortable and so came to us for a second opinion. She was actually a 32E.

We want to stop this from happening, so please accept our advice and let us fit you into your correct bra size. Please bear in mind that many women wear the wrong bra size anyway - if you were wearing a rib size 34 but your rib band was constantly riding up at the back, chances are you are normally a 32! This is your chance to ensure that you always wear correctly sized bras in the future.

Wearing the wrong sized bra during pregnancy and nursing can lead to so many problems in later life. We understand that good bras are expensive but they are designed to last and support your breasts properly so please follow the following advice. If you can only afford one well fitted bra, buy it and wash it as necessary - it may help you to avoid a possible boob job and chiropractic treatment later on!

If you need any advice at all, please contact Heather either via email at info@expectingmaternity.co.uk or on 01904 466511. I have been a specialist bra fitter for over 10 years, so am sure that I can help you.

If you have no idea what bra size you were before you were pregnant, then this size guide should help. Measure under and then across your bust at the fullest part whilst wearing a bra. This size chart is not perfect for everyone but hopefully will help you if really need it.
