Mothercare do some really comfy bras.... I went up 5 cup sizes during my pregnancy so they only did me for a few weeks as they go up to a G cup... I'm not sure what back size though! There they cost areound �20 which was the cheapest I'd found! The next cheapest was Bravissimo, I had to buy feeding bras but with a C cup you should be fine...... good luck!

i was in mothercare yesterday (they still had reduced ones left ;-)) but the largest i found was a 40D and that was too small now :-S i think i may have to make them! or else order tehm form somewhere i can't afford to spend �20 every couple weeks *sob*

Did you speak to the staff at Mothercare? Or try their website. They should be able to find something for you! Poor you... I really do feel for you! Wait a couple more weeks then get a new bra. I (like you) refused to spend too much money on new (and expensive) bras every couple of weeks so I waited until I was absolutely desperate, then had no choice but to spend more than �20..... Did you try Bravissimo? They have a website and are really good, it's www.bravissimo.com The bras there do cost more than �20 but were the cheapest I could find! They specialise in big bras.....

I suffer the same problem. I am a 48, D cup size and I am 29 weeks. I cannot find nursing bra anywhere. And I have asked Mothercare and other shops, even sent an email to the Mother & Baby magazine to see if they can help. I know it is early to look for them, but I am afraid then when it comes the time I won't be able to find it.

i took dh to mothercare the other day and we had fun trying on bras! well *i* did lol
bless him he knows they are only gonna fit a wee while and he's going to have to pay out another �25 (was a twin pack tho!) soon coz these are getting tight already! i knew i should have gotten the larger ones. there was a distinct lack of staff around to get measured tho so i had to go with trial and error instead, at least i know that i'm NOT a 48C..... YET! i did end up with a nursing bra tho, the support bra only went to a 40
i'll stay with these couple as long as i can tho, and use my swimsuit as a makeshift bra coz it will fit for ages ;-) and is comfy too!

Good for you! Woo hoo! I had the same problem and had to use feeding bras too... you get used to them, I promise! I've only just been able to stop wearing mine (and I bottle fed) and she's 7 months old!!!! Boobs have only gone back down one size when I went up 5.... hope you have more luck than me!

i have to say, it is *very* soft and comfy.. just have to rember to check that it hasn't come unclipped in teh wash! (it did the other day and i didn't realize till i put it on)
hope that i shrink back down again though... but looking at my mam............ i hold out little hope!
