Maternity Bra

Any pregnant mommy, whose shape begins to change, wonders what kind of clothes to wear. One of the necessary and important attributes is the bra, which is significantly different from the usual.

During pregnancy, women's breasts undergo changes. It increases, swells, becomes heavy, sensitive. Therefore, it is important to choose a bra of the correct shape and size, which will help get rid of the discomfort and trouble called stretching and sagging.

The size of the cups of bras for pregnant women can be adjusted throughout the entire period of change in the size of the breast of a pregnant woman. Therefore, the cups are seamless and have an elastic band inside, transient in the straps, thus tightly supporting the shape of the breast.

The straps on these bras are sturdy, they are wider than on ordinary bodices, which take on the tendency to bump into the skin. The elastic belt is also wider and has a larger number of rows with fasteners, both in height and in length. Despite the fact that this bra does not look very attractive, it is the best support, lightening the weight of the breast and relieving the back of future moms.

Sew such a piece of linen exclusively from natural and harmless materials, thereby preventing all sorts of allergies and irritations.

There is no definite time limit for the start of wearing a bra. But it is important not to forget that the sooner you start wearing it, the easier and more comfortable it will be for you and your chest.

As a rule, to force the breast begins at 3-4 months of pregnancy. But there are cases of exceptions. Therefore, as soon as there is a feeling of heaviness, it is important to purchase such a bra. If the breast of the future mother of small size and during pregnancy does not change much, then you can do with an ordinary bra, provided that it is comfortable and does not cut into the skin.

The size of the bra should be chosen so that it does not hit the skin, i.e. It is important to consider the volume of the breast and the depth of the cup. No need to try to emphasize the neckline with such a bra, because it damages the blood flow to your chest, which at this time is the most sensitive.

In order to choose the right size, you need to take the following measurements:

• girth under the breast - place the tape measure directly under the chest. If the resulting number is odd, then add 12 cm to it, and if even, then 10. For example, if you got 80, then add 10, we get 90.
• the fullness of the cup - we measure with tape the chest in the fullest part. We calculate the completeness of the cup: from the resulting digit we subtract the first digit (girth under the breast). The resulting difference indicates the size of the cup. The correspondence of the resulting numbers and letters are presented below.

Before buying it is important to try on the product. If it is prohibited, you should check the girth and depth of the cup, putting a bra on yourself. It is important that at this moment you were wearing thin clothes.

The range of bras for pregnant women has the goal to provide comfort for mommy at any time:

1. The most popular model is a supporting bra. It provides maximum breast support, due to the wide straps and the depth of the cups, thereby not allowing the active breasts to be squeezed.
2. Prenatal bra designed to support breast shape and prevent stretch marks.
3. Bra-topic. It is an ideal option for sleeping, and provides a comfortable fit during the day, due to the lack of buckles.
4. There are also special bras for sleep. They are used after childbirth, tightening the breasts and reducing the pain threshold during feeding.
5. 2 in 1. This is a bra for pregnant and lactating mothers. Their cut is the same as that of the supporter, but the cups are fastened to the straps with the help of hooks, thanks to which it is convenient to feed the child and it is not necessary to pull the straps off each time.

There are also special models of large sizes for pregnant women, they are wider at the straps and base and have a greater number of fasteners. Most often, bras for pregnant women do not have bones (special metal inserts to support the shape of the breast). But there are options in which the bones are still there, they are made of softer materials, which prevents them from crashing into the skin and does not interfere with the blood flow. Bra model can choose any, most importantly, that it performs its main function - breast support.

According to their purpose, bras are divided into three types:

• Lungs - suitable in the first days of feeding, when the mother's breast is especially sensitive. They are made of lightweight and elastic materials, most often in the form of a top.
• Average - have wide straps and elastic band. Designed to support the growing breasts, thereby helping the muscles and easing the increased load.
• Tough - are used when the breast has a maximum volume - in the late stages of pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Cups here are already tight to the chest and are not intended to increase. There are convenient fasteners (hooks, zippers) with cups removable from the straps, for convenient feeding of the baby.

When choosing clothes, pregnant women often make one mistake, which further has consequences for the rest of their lives. And this mistake lies in the fact that Mommy hopes to go through in regular underwear before delivery, and only then begins to look for a special bra for pregnant women. But by this time the chest has already undergone great changes, and sometimes even special underwear can not properly maintain the shape of the breast and save from stretch marks. Therefore, it is important to change the usual underwear, by the time the chest begins to grow.

In stock, pregnant women need to have at least three bras. One for socks, the second for the shift, the third for the "force majeure" circumstances (milk leakage, discomfort, or the usual replacement of a worn out bodice).

It is important to choose the right bra size. No need to take it "for growth", because a wide bodice will not support your not quite full breasts, but on the contrary, will allow the skin to stretch and change the shape of the breast. If you start to "grow" you should increase the fastener step on the belt. No need to squeeze the chest, hoping that so you improve its shape.

There is a mistaken opinion that pregnant women should not wear bras with underwire. This can be done, but it is important that the bodice fit you in size, and the bones do not cut into the chest. It is also important to note here that it is better to choose seamless patterns or the seams should be wide and not rubbing the skin.

Also, experts note that the best bra for pregnant women - multifunctional. Best of all, when the clasp on it is in front, which allows you to quickly and easily remove it and put it on.

It should be as simple and comfortable as possible. If you so want beauty, then today the model range offers bodices with printed patterns or from colored fabrics with a pattern.
