Debbie French from Perfect Fit in Keynsham offers expert advice for finding the right maternity or nursing bra
Pregnancy is a time of exciting changes, but it can also bring questions – especially when it comes to finding the right maternity or nursing bra.
One common misconception among expectant mums is that a nursing bra is needed early in pregnancy. In fact, the best time to be fitted for a nursing bra is usually just two to three weeks before your due date, when your breast size is closer to what it will be during nursing.
That said, breast changes begin early in pregnancy. It’s not unusual for breast tissue to increase up to nine or twn times in size, which can lead to discomfort and sensitivity. That’s why we recommend regular fittings throughout your pregnancy to ensure your bras continue to offer proper support and don’t cause any pain or pressure. Bras with underwires sitting directly on breast tissue, for instance, can cause irritation or even blocked milk ducts for some women.
To stay comfortable during these changes, many women opt for non-wired bras throughout their pregnancy. These provide a softer, more flexible fit, though preferences do vary. Some prefer a flexi-wire design, which offers more structure while still adapting to the body’s changes. Whatever your preference, the key is a supportive fit that works with your unique shape and stage of pregnancy.
At Perfect Fit, we offer a carefully selected range of maternity and nursing bras to meet every need. Our collection includes non-wired bras, flexi-wired nursing bras and soft, wire-free sleep bras, all designed for maximum comfort and ease of use. With discreet nursing clips and stretchable materials, they provide quick and convenient access for breastfeeding, without sacrificing style or support.
