I live in kind of a rural area. The closest maternity store I know of is about 50 miles away. The thing is, I cannot travel more than 50 miles or my insurance won't cover me if I go into labor! Can I find them at regular department stores? We have a JC Penny and Sears here.
Also, when should I buy them? I'm 35 1/2 wks now, but I don't want to get them so soon that my breasts grow more and they don't fit. Thanks!

I had a really horrible time finding a good nursing bra. For my first two babies I bought a Playtex nursing bra and hated it. It made me look really frumpy and it was uncomfortable. I ended up wearing one of my regular underwire bras and pulled the strap down when I nursed. Throughout the pregnancy I went from a C to a DD so, for me, I preferred underwire.
With my third baby I found a REALLY great bra on eBay. It is an underwire by Wacoal and was half the price. They come in light pink or blue. I even wore them for several months after I quit nursing because I would forget it was a nursing bra. They are also really well constructed in that the part of the bra close to your body is like a regular cup w/a hole in the middle. The outer piece looks like a regular bra. It also gave me more of a "normal" look than the weird look I seemed to get from other nursing bras that I found locally.
These are half the price that you would find them for in the store, if you can find them in the stores close to you at all.
If you want, or can go with, an underwire these are the best!
Oh yeah, for this bra you may want to wait until you start regularly nursing to decide on what size to get. You may very well get larger. If a store somewhere close by has Wacoal bras then you could go & try a similar non-nursing style on to figure out what size to get on eBay.

JC Penney should have them. Most stores that sell bras have them. I would buy them now but buy a cup size or two up to leave room for any enlargement once your milk comes in.
