Father Loses 2 Young Children In Tornado
Why It's Hard To Get Along With Your In-Laws
Where can you find maternity bras for the buxom set?
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Mommy Musts
Growing up (and older) with teeny little A cups, I always looked forward to pregnant breasts. Filling out a C cup was a good day in our house. When my milk came in after giving birth to Nate, my sister watched me apply warm compresses to my new Ds with amazement. "You look like you got implants!"I got a call from a younger, more-endowed friend last week. She's following closely behind me in pregnancy -- 32 weeks to my 38. She was complaining about her breasts, which are renowned in our circle of friends, mostly due to their contrast with her petite frame. Before I knew it, something made me decide to put an end to the mystery and I was asking her how big they had gotten.
"Let me see now... the last bra I was able to buy was a 32 J."
A, B, C, D... HOLY CRAP!
My mom is a 38 G, so I know all about big boobs, though only from wearing her giant bra cup on my head like a hat. I know that anyone who lives in Toronto and has a stacked rack goes to Sophia's. Sophia, the boob doyenne, knows an F from a G just by looking, then she cops a feel to make sure.
"But Sophia says she can't find me anymore bras. I am spilling out of the J and I don't know what I will do when my milk comes in!"
I remembered writing a post here about La Leche League maternity and nursing bras. I got a lot of complaints from busty women who noted that the LLC bras did not go up very high. So now I turn to you readers. Where can my adorable friend get a bra that fits her?

Ethel said...The only place that I know of that goes that far is Lady Grace: http://ladygrace.com/product.asp?pn=94305, for those of us a little less buxom JCPenney's works too, specifically the Medela Seamless underwire since for myself (G+) the underwires feel better then squishing my breasts up in a bra without the wires. Hope that helps her!

rachel said...Give your friend this link: http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=EJ-430&mci=&size=32jj&colour=&image=r10088-p469670-front
They have this nursing bra in a 32K, and it's not ugly nor will it break the bank.
I love Figleaves for their nice lingerie for the full figured girl, be she pregnant or trying to get that way ;)

caitlin said...If she's crafty, you might want to have google for converting a tank top to a nursing top. I have a small band size with a relatively large cup size and it was impossible to find a comfortable nursing/maternity bra. It doesn't beat a good bra, but it's better than nothing.

Jenn said...I get so jealous reading things like this. I'm fairly average in the boob department, and I'm perfectly happy that way, but I was looking forward to having a chance to experience having larger breasts in a temporary way.
Unfortunately for me, my boobs did not change one.single.iota. during my entire pregnancy OR nursing.
*sigh* It just isn't fair!!!!
But then, my sister went from a full D cup to a barely-there A after nursing. So I guess I can be thankful I didn't lose anything!

Anne said...The Upper Breast Side in NYC is a great place - they specialize in on-site fittings, but I bet they would love to help with off-site questions. They also have lots of yummy, stylish nursing clothes by Boob and Japanese Weekend.

If you are nursing in the NYC area, this place is a must!
Unfortunately, they are closed until after Labor Day.
