I'm 5 months pregnant and my bras don't fit good at all. I need ones i am going to be able to use now and later. What are they, where can i get them, and how do i find my size?

There is such a thing as a maternity bra, but I think that they are a waste of money. If you plan on nursing I would suggest that you buy some nursing bras. Go to a maternity shop and ask them about sizes. I went up a size in cup and band and it wasn't quite enough so I had to buy more.

It's normal for you at this point in your pregnancy to need a larger bra size than your regular one...
When i was pregnant with my baby, my bra size increased from 32 to 34.
IF you are thinking about breastfeeding your baby, you might consider buying nursing bras to use after delivery, you can buy them from maternity wear stores.
You might feel that your bra size increased even more when you actually start breastfeeding, but once the baby is born and you stop breastfeeding your bra size will go back to normal.

Macy's is now advertising custom fit bras. I know the idea of some stranger probing at your breasts is weird, but I had it done and she told me my correct size and suggested some great bras- in the end, it was worth going through the embarrassment for the sake of a great bra. And I can guarantee there will be associates there who could recommend great maternity bras as well.

your only 5 months.. your breasts are gonna get so much bigger(at least mine did)
I would buy some cheap sports bras for now, ones you can wear all day and sleep in if you need to and wait to get a nursing bra till your about 7-8 months preggers!
I mine at target(by Liz Lang) and the only way to tell if they fit is to try them on1
Good Luck

Get the ones that open: They are very high tech. they look like a regular bra but the front, where the nipple is , can be unclasped so you don't have to undress to feed the baby.
Try different ones to find your size. The letter is for the cup.

Do you mean now and after you have the baby? Will you be breast-feeding? If so, get nursing bras. If not, get bras that don't have underwire, but still have the support. Any store (WalMart, JC Penney, etc.) will have these bras in their lingerie section.

I got a bunch of Sports bras and they work just fine. Most of my friends said that they will fit you when your boobs are big and fit when they go down. So I followed that and it works!
