can we talk about bra sizes?

[Muddled]

No, I don't want to know yours! Unless you need to share. Lol.

I'm 18 weeks pg and buying new bras. Will my rib cage expand so that I need a bigger band width to go along with my increasingly ginormous (for me) knockers? Right now, it seems like I could get away with either size, assuming the band doesn't completely stretch out more quickly than it should. Any advice?

Get the band extender things.

I got the band extenders and was fine because my cup size didn't increase until after I had the baby.

I went from a 32 bandsize up to a 34 when pregnant and am now back down to a 32.

Everything kept increasing. I went up a band size and 3-4 cup sizes. I did not gain a ton of extra weight either.

Would Target have them? I'm leaving town for 2 weeks tomorrow.

Holy shit. I definitely could not handle all that boob. I'm picturing myself now and it's pretty hysterical.

I had a lot to start with, so it's pretty out of control.

I am very much looking forward to have my breasts out of the milk producing game.

Thank you!

[VillainV]

Yep, Target and Walmart both should have them. Pay attention to whether you want the 2-hook ones or 3-hook ones. Or maybe just get a box of each. I think each box has one white, one black, and one nude-colored extender.

[ringstrue]

your rib cage will not literally expand but you will retain water and gain weight so you will most likely go up at least a little in the band size. Everyone is different so its hard to say what you'll need when but you could possibly also need to go up a cup size.

I learned recently that when you buy a new bra it should fit best at the loosest band setting and as the elastic wears out you can use the tighter rows.

I went from a 34B to a 36D both pregnancies. PP, I'm at 34C.

Same here.

[Jalapeñomel]

My band size did not change, just my cup size (and all things considered, not that much).

My boobs went from enormous to OMGWTF does your back hurt standing up size. 2-3 cup sizes and a band size. PP it went back to the same-ish size I was pre-pregnancy (although my boobs were floppier).
