I'm trying to pack my labour bag just in case, but some things I've read said not to buy feeding bras until at least 36 weeks. I really don't fancy waiting until the rush of Xmas shopping to do that, but is now too early? Also, do you go up a size to make room for when the milk comes in? TIA as you can tell, I know absolutely NOTHING about what I'm supposed to be doing!

| I got mine when I was like 20 weeks. And they fit me fine. All I did was try them on, make sure that I have room to adjust at the back either tighter or looser. And then made sure I could fit a hand inside the cup (a lovely lady at the bra shop told me to do that). But that last thing may depend on how big you are. |

I bought mine early too and they were fine. Yeah I would do the same as Stacey and just make sure you have room to grow! ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

When your "milk comes in" your boobs expand and will probably look larger, at the time, than Pams! Might be a good idea to get them earlier than 36 weeks, just in case you are early like I was. I got mine about 25 weeks the first time, and this time round, I was in them sooner!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Ooo, thanks for the hint about sticking your hand in Stacey!
Righty then, I'm off to go bra shopping! I really didn't want to leave it any later than 30 weeks just in case! Don't want these puppies floating around without a bra
