It's important to support your changing breasts with a good bra that fits you properly. The best type of bra to wear during pregnancy is a comfortable, supportive maternity bra. A good maternity bra will have wider shoulder straps than a fashion bra. It should also have support panels and adjustable back fastenings so it can expand to fit you as your body changes.
When you’re shopping for a bra, make sure it fits you well. A well-fitted bra can provide you with the right support so your back or shoulders don’t feel strained because of it. You may feel hot while you’re pregnant so consider buying bras that are mainly cotton. If you feel comfortable, speak to a salesgirl to help you get the right fit. You may need a new bra sooner than you think to keep up with the changes in your breast size during pregnancy. So keep measuring yourself as your pregnancy progresses. Later on in pregnancy, when your bump is very large, you might feel short of breath. Some mums-to-be feel a sense of relief by not wearing a bra at this stage. You may find that underwired bras are uncomfortable for your changing breasts. The wires may interfere with the natural changes of your breasts in size and shape.
