With Rio my boobs never really hurt though, even after birth. I had family members telling me to put lettuce leaves on to ease the pain and I was sat insisting they were fine.

This time around is a different story, my pregnancy symptoms began with the tell tale boob tenderness and it has progressed ever since. Day time for the most part isn't too bad but when I walk to the toilet in the night, they are agony! Re-adjusting the bones underneath my bra is horrible and I finally had enough and went on the hunt for a good maternity bra.
A trip to Mothercare proved unsuccessful, so I thought it was very apt that I returned home to an email asking me whether id like to try out a Bravado! Designs maternity bra. I sent over my size and eagerly awaited the post man! And he didn't disappoint. Not only was it a maternity bra, it was also a nursing bra..two birds with one stone and all of that, with extra clips meaning you can eventually convert it into a normal everyday bra. If that isn't value for money I don't know what is!
I'm usually a 32D but pregnancy so far has took me to a 34DD making me a Medium in The Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra. I have to currently put the back strap on the tightest setting meaning that I will have plenty of room to grow throughout the upcoming months. My first impressions were that it was like a sports bra, only adjustable..which later proved to be just the thing I needed to help my night time problem. I liked that it didn't just come in black and white as I'm due to have my baby in the summer months and the pink (orchid pink) will be perfect under my very girly wardrobe!
At first I didn't like the elastic strap that is created when you unclip the bra to 'nurse' but when I actually used my mind and figured it would stop the strap slipping over your shoulder I soon saw the
geniousness of it!
