Maternity bras

Maternity bras come in all shapes, colours and sizes. Pregnancy will enlarge your breasts so it is important to support the ligaments to prevent a droopy stretchmark covered chest.

Things to look for when you are buying a maternity bra

• It is advisable to get professionally measured
• Look for wide straps, deep sides and an under-bust band
• Steer clear of underwired bras as they could restrict your milk ducts
• Look for four rows of hook and eye fastenings as these will provide the correct level of support
• A high cotton content will let your skin breathe
• Drop cups may be useful later
• Maternity bras come in a range of patterns, including floral and animal print or pastel colours
