How to know when you are ready to change your pre-pregnancy bra? If you start to feel uncomfortable or tight. This may happen early in the pregnancy or more toward the end of pregnancy. Either way, you need to find a comfortable maternity bra that offers support and room for growth.
There are a few differences between a maternity and nursing bra.
A maternity bra is designed to be worn during and after pregnancy. During pregnancy the breasts will grow. For some moms-to-be the growth may be a cup size and for others up to 2 to 3 cup sizes. Of course that depends on your pregnancy.
A maternity bra is very supportive and is usually designed with stretchy fabric, adjustable straps and additional hook-n-eyes in the back closure to accommodate your changing size.
A Nursing Bra is designed for breastfeeding functionality. Although many women purchase and wear a nursing bra in the last trimester, the design is a little different than that of a maternity bra. The cups of the bra drop down from either a clasp or hook to expose each breast for easier nursing.

It is very important to have a good fit in a nursing bra. Your breasts may get a little fuller in the early weeks of breastfeeding.
