Hi Moms, you have been so great with my questions in the past that I am going to try another one. I am 5 months pregnant with our 2nd baby and would love to know what brand maternity/nursing bra you LOVE. I went through the first pregnancy with different bras some from Target, some from motherhood, but none were comfortable and barely supportive. My breasts fluctuated between a 36B to a 36C. I think right now I may be a 36B. So, I would love something that is a little stretchy, but supportive and comfortable. Thanks so much!!!
Try Bravado. they have many designs. also Medela makes a stretchy racer-back type thing that I wore to bed to hold the pads in place.
I was/am about the same size as you and I tried Target brand as well as some others including motherhood but my favorite was the gap soft cup nursing bra:

THey had a bunch of others as well that I never tried, some made by Medela:

But to save money, I found them on Ebay (new, not used) which got them for under $20.
As for nursing tanks - I still wear (my little one is 21 months old but I still pump) a Target brand nursing tank to bed at night since I pup first thing in the Am and last thing in the PM. LOVE love love it. Tried glamourmom but target was way better.

I love the Majama nursing bra for sleeping. It is comfy and supportive.
I used good old playtex nursing bras from JCPennny or Sears. I'm the same size as you and nursed four babies. Not particularly pretty but compfortable and functional!
Another vote for Medela!
Hi L.,
I loved the Medela comfort maternity nursing bra. It's sort of like a racerback sports bra but gives lots of support even at DD. The only bad thing is that it showed on the shoulder with a number of shirts, but that was the very least of my concerns at the time! Hope all goes well!

I have bought all of my nursing bras from www.motherwear.com, and I like all of them well enough. My favorite is the "Cottony Smooth Cup" bra, though. It is slightly stretchy and has no underwire, and it feels supportive and offers a smooth appearance under clothing. I have several of these bras, and they are by far the most comfortable bras I have (I even continued wearing them after I stopped nursing).
Hi L.! I love the Bravado bras! They are super comfy, open and close easily. Good luck!
paid a little more for, but lovvvvved mimi maternity. The underwire with the snap front. For bed I wore another mimi maternity that simply folded over. Simple but supportitive. I had tried others and those two were my favorites. I am similiar size. Went with the c for maternity. I had a b as well but it would seem to clog my ducts with a bra that was too tight.
