The right time to be fitted for a maternity bra varies from woman to woman. The breast begins to preare for lactation quite early in pregnancy and some ladies will outgrow their usual bra size very quickly. Most changes to the breast have occurred by around four months and this is a good time to come into store and get a correctly fitted bra which will give you comfort and support through out the pregnancy and after the baby has been born.
Maternity Bras are designed to have your changing needs incorporated into their design. Many ladies prefer the underwire fashion bras and are confused when told these are not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. The reason for this is your changing breast shape. Underwire may put pressure on the breast when it is fuller. Such pressure can lead to blocked milk ducts or mastitis and it is for this reason inflexible underwire bras are not recommended.
