The 7th and 8th months of my pregnancy and now the last month have brought a weird problem! I can't wear bras! Switched from my normal ones to pregnancy bras, sports bras and maternity bras all without underwire but its so uncomfortable! I think its because my uterus must be all the way up to just under my breasts so the bras are putting pressure on it, increasing the size from 34 to 36 to 38 didn't help either! And the problem is i need to wear them because i'm leaking milk so need to use breast pads :( anyone else had this problem and can offer any advice? TIA :(

Same here, can't stand bras when I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. Like kiwispiers I wore vest tops with built in support. There are loads of different ones and Marks and Spencers. Many styles have the added bonus of extra thickness or padding in the bust area so you can sometimes get away with not wearing breast pads. They are supportive enough for me but I've got small boobs, not sure if they would be enough if bigger up top. Thanks Daza, will definitely check out Marks then :)

Yes I was exactly the same for my first pregnancy, could not stand the pressure of a bra strap on my rib cage so didn't wear a bra for months. I didn't leak milkl fortunately and just used to wear singlets with built in shelves or just tight singlets. I also had terrible reflux which was completely gone the second my baby popped put, quite a relief! Ya im having the reflux as well :( gaviscon is my new best friend :) so all of this will be gone immediately after delivery? I was worried it might take a while! Thank God for that!
