I have listed some below with our answers as well.
If you have any questions of your own, please don't hesitate to ask
1. When should I start wearing a maternity bra?
According to the Australian Breastfeeding Association the breast begins to prepare for your baby quite early in pregnancy, and some woman will feel uncomfortable or fully outgrow there usual bra sooner than others.
As a general rule most changes to the breast have occurred by around 16 weeks and this is a good time to be fitted, if you haven’t been already. Stork provides a professional bra fitting service.
2. Is it true I can’t wear an underwire bra
Many women would prefer to wear an underwire bra, but underwire is not recommended during pregnancy. The reason for this is your changing breasts.
A rigid underwire can put pressure on already tender breasts. When breastfeeding the breasts can increase and decrease in size during the day. And retained fluid during pregnancy can cause your breasts to swell. Although there is only a slight change occurring and underwire can be uncomfortable when the breast is fuller and having this pressure can lead to blocked ducts and infection (mastitis).
3. Will I get the same Support from a maternity Bra
Maternity Bras are designed in such a way that you will get the same support from a beautiful maternity bra as you would from your original underwire bra and you will be a lot more comfortable.
4. Should I wear a bra to bed?
Wearing a bra to bed is a personal preference. Some women like to wear a bra to bed for support and to hold nursing pads in place. An alternative to this would be a feeding singlet with a supportive cup or shelf bra and nursing clips, making it much more comfortable and convenient.
5. How many bras will I need?
During pregnancy it is recommended to have at least 2 bras, one lighter and one darker to go under any outfit.
During breastfeeding you should have 3-4 bras as your breasts may leak milk and may need changing more frequently than usual.
6. How does a maternity bra differ from a normal bra
There are many different styles and designs of maternity bras available. A good maternity bra should have the following features.
· Extended hook and eye clips
· Drop feeding cups
· Wide diaphragm for support
· Soft lining for comfort
· Inner sling for support inside the cup and keeps strap in place while feeding.
