It'll be okay, Amy.  The lady who taught my child birth class also sold nursing bras out of her home (she's a lactation consultant too or whatever she calls herself). That was nice...I just went to her house & she fixed me right up...even had what I needed. So, you may be blessed with someone similar where you live.

You may very well need that D cup, hun...whether you want to admit it or not. I usually wore a C (occasionally D) cup prior to having my son. While nursing, I ended up in an F cup!
An F! Oh no! There's no hope for me, I've been huge since I was 10! I'm in DDD now (up from my DD after about 3 weeks pregnant). I think I'm going to need physio to get through this! I did find excellent maternity bras (they're different from nursing bras) at Thyme Maternity. They are FANTASTIC!!!!
Megan and Donna, congrats at getting to the top! Wonder who's going to be first?

I'll guess Donna, but I could be wrong.
Megan, this is your first baby correct?!!?

Motherhood Maternity sells bra extenders to help me bras to fit longer. And the extender is only $2-3. They helped me for a couple of months before I broke down and bought a D cup bra (up from an A/B). I am not quite a D right now, but I know D is how big I got the last time I was pregnant.

I wouldn't recommend buying nursing bras until after the baby is born. Maybe buy one, and then wait and see how large you get when your milk comes in...

I actually remember having a conversation with my midwife early on in my pregnancy about how I hope my boobs get bigger just so I can see what it's like and she replied to me, "Don't worry the boob fairy visits us all at one time or the other" .
Seriously, the boob fairy has some major making up to do with me when I have my next baby. I'm a small B and stayed that way through pregnancy and nursing...same with my sister. We are both severly disappointed.

I have to say that large bosoms are not all they are cracked up to be. In warm weather, skin gets sweaty. It's not as easy to go without a bra around the house --- just not comfortable feeling them on my skin. So don't feel left out lexie.

I don't know about that. I bought nursing bras when I needed a new size in my last pregnancy and ended up using all of them at some point in my nursing career with Nadia. I did need to get some 'boulder holders' when my milk came in, but after all that settled down I was able to use my other bras I had bought and worn during my pregnancy. Granted, I didn't buy a whole stash, just like two. But then again I don't have more than three that I rotate through at any given time in my life.

Brandy,
I don't like the nursing bras either. When you say stretchy bras, are you speaking of athletic type bras (sports bras)?

Do NOT say things like that... I was a 34DD pre-pregnancy and am wearing a 36DD right now at 23weeks pregnant. I'm not looking forward to shopping for nursing bras 
) I know that everyone's different, just curious what seems to be standard/normal.
. 
, so they'll be useless for another who knows how long!
