I second Bendon. Really lovely bras. I got one from Blush and Bloom as well as a Cake Lingerie one.

Try Blush and Bloom. I had a proper fitting at the lady's fitting room in Arabian Ranches and had loads to choose from. She specialises in maternity. She also comes to you too.

I'm not that big breasted but I can only sympathize as I know what's its like to struggle to find a product that is seemingly pain free for others. But, for me, getting fitted correctly made such a huge difference to my nursing experience! So much so that I nursed for longer as this time I didn't get Mastitis which I'm sure I got last time round from poorly fitting bras sitting on my milk ducts and causing a whole host of problems. Whilst I know you can buy cheaper online, when it comes to fit you can't do that online and then you have the hassle of returning it. I can no longer shop there as my cup size no longer qualifies since I stopped nursing but I'm sure they do up to a size K.

I ordered mine from http://www.nursingbra-shop.co.uk/ and received them in a box within 12 days. They ship to anywhere in the world for just £1 over the total order cost.

. I expected (from previous experience) to go from an 36 D to maybe a 36 E or even F , well I ended up with a 36G (!) and even that is a bit snug ( they didn't have H though...). wow you just confirmed my fears that when I'll have a baby I won't be able to find a nursing bra I'm a 36G without even being pregnant and as we are preparing for hopefully have a baby in the next 12 months this was one of my worries. I'm sure in the big scheme of things I have other things to worry but for someone who has a mission to normally find a decent looking and supporting bra, and already have little luck, buying underwear for a woman should be a chance to feel sexy to me it depresses me me right now so trust I'm not looking forward to getting even bigger than I am :( <em>edited by magik on 28/06/2012</em>

Also if you want some nice ones then they had elle macpherson ones in Bloomingdales and if they are on sale, as they probably are now, then worth buying. You need to ask the assistant for the nursing bras, as they are not always on display and sometimes in the drawer.

Thank u Suzan well I'm now a 32 D but after milk comes i think I will end up a 32-34 DD I would definitely wait until your milk comes in before investing in an expensive nursing bra. Just because it is hard to estimate your size. With my first child I was so far away with the sizes I thought I needed that I ended up giving away the bras I bought before delivery. With my second baby I waited until my milk had come in before I bought any bras. I expected (from previous experience) to go from an 36 D to maybe a 36 E or even F , well I ended up with a 36G (!) and even that is a bit snug ( they didn't have H though...), but that will even out again, once the supply has been established and also once the rest of the pregnancy weight is off again. I personally think a few good fitting nursing bras you feel pretty in are a very good investment as depending on how long you will nurse, you might wear nursing bras for 2 years or longer every day and in the beginning even in the night.

What size are you looking for adooli? I have an assortment of 38 and 40 ones i can give you for free if you're interested. Most are barely used - Hotmilk, bravado, mothercare etc Happy to give it to anyone else as well if adooli doesn't need them.

The bra's at Mothercare, M&S and Destination Maternity have worked well for me when I was breastfeeding DD1! It's a "1 time use item" and hence I could not justify spending 200aed+ on one bra alone :/: All my BF'ing bra's got milk stained, so once I was done BF'ing they went straight into the bin! Pure cotton, comfy (which is the main thing as the size of your breast change constantly during bf'ing) and washes well ticked all my boxes!

There's a Dubai based website called Blush and Bloom or something which has quite a good selection of really pretty bras. I believe the lady will come out and measure you and give advice too if you want. The Hotmilk bras are lovely. Also there is a shop in the mall on Beach Road - sorry can never remember the name of those malls in Jumeirah but it's the one with the Emirates Airline office in it. DB Babies, I think it's called, although their selection is a bit more limited. I ordered most of mine from Debenhams or Figleaves online but a bit hit and miss with the sizing.

The only places to find breastfeeding bras which are a little bit pretty in Dubai are Mothercare, M&S and Debenhams but I don't like the ones in Debenhams, they are more old Granny like.
