the cup size will change. I doubt that you could buy one now that will alst the whole pregnancy. You need to look at inexpensive ones, and buy them to tide you over until the baby is born, and you need nursing bras. When your milk is established, the cup size may decrease...at the beginning get ready to feel like they are jumoing off your chest they are so big

When I became pregnant I was a 38 D, right now I'm 18 weeks pregnant and a 40 E...and I know I will get a lot bigger by the time the baby is born...my Aunt told me she went from a 36 DD to a 40 G!! Crazy huh?! You will most likely have to change bra sizes a few time, sorry to say.

You absolutely cannot buy a bra now that'll take you through pregnancy. It's just too early!
I was 34B before pregnancy and at the end I went up to 36C then after pregnancy I was 36DD... One year later I'm now 36D and still breastfeeding. Maybe after breastfeeding I'll go down further... I can only hope...
Anyway, I'd hold off on buying the bra until maybe the last trimester and you should probably consider one that'll enable you to breastfeed...
I bought a very nice one from Medela.

Congrats on the baby!
For some women their breasts will change a lot, for some not at all. This is a wait and see situation. Just make sure you get yourself measured frequently if your breasts are changing, and buy only a couple of bras at a time. I gained two cups sizes by the end of my first pregnancy and another cup after I gave birth since I was breastfeeding. I lost four cups sizes after he was weaned, and gained nothing with my second pregnancy, and lost another cup after she was weaned. But for me this worked since I was a DDD(F) to begin with and ended up a D. Every woman is different.

There is no way to know for sure. I went from a 36 C to a now 38 D and Im 30 weeks. My breast will probably go to a DD when my milk comes in. I know some people whose breast dont grow the whole pregnancy and some grow two to three cup sizes. Basically you have to watch your body and see what happens. There is no way to prepare for such a thing. Each woman is different and within the same woman, each pregnancy is different.

Everyone is different. So far I've only gone up one bra size but some people change drastically. And its not really practical to buy a D cup in anticipation if you are only a B now. It still wouldn't give you any support.

My bustline increased several cups sizes during my pregnancy, more after my milk came in. I found that buying a supportive sports bra (including nursing bras made like sports bras) gave me the support I needed and grew with my bust.

But a Playtex nursing bra..they come in a box..lol.. Anyway try some on and buy the biggest one you can fit into with the straps as tight as possible..that way you have some room to give as you get further in your pregnancy. Also, these Playtex brand bra's, they give great support, yet they have a lot of stretch to them... I was able to wear them through the entire pregnancy and through a year of nursing....
Congratulations btw!

Don't try to buy a bra until later in your pregnancy. Your breasts will be HUGE in your last month and probably biggger yet in the first couple of weeks post-partum. If your old bras still fit...wait a while.
