Do you need a new bra during your pregnancy?
During pregnancy, your breasts become larger and more sensitive, which is why you will definitely need a comfortable maternity bra.
Hormonal fluctuations, enlargement of the rib cage, weight gain and milk production in the mammary glands in late pregnancy are the main factors that cause the breasts to increase in size. Each woman is different and depending on your type of breast, it may take more or less volume. For example, if you have pear-shaped or round breasts with volume, you can expect them to grow more than if you have small breasts, for example.

How to measure your size for maternity and nursing bras?
Measuring bra size has two components: band size (eg 80, 85, 90) and cup size (A, B, C, etc.).
1. Measure band size
Wear a comfortable regular bra and stand in front of a mirror. Let your back and shoulders straighten (relax and don't hold your breath). Wrap the tape measure around your chest where the tape is and make sure it is intact (not too loose or too tight). If the measurement is an odd number, count the next even number.
2. Measure your chest size
Wrap the measuring tape loosely around your chest at the ends. Hold the tape around the body quite loosely. Round up to the nearest number.
3. Calculate the cup size
Subtract the band size from the bust size to get your cup size.
