Maternity bras
One of the first things that happens during pregnancy is that the bust becomes larger and the breasts sensitive. Therefore, it is a good idea to get a maternity bra, so you are assured of good support for your bust during the pregnancy period. At Mammashop, we have gathered some of the best brands of maternity bras in our range, so you are guaranteed high-quality support.
Why buy a maternity bra?
As mentioned. Your breasts become larger and therefore also sore. This is because the breasts begin to develop new tissue so they are ready to start milk production. It is normal for the breasts to increase their combined weight by half a kilo. Hence the sore bust.
During this period, it is a good idea to buy some new bras, as the old ones will probably no longer fit after a while. Fortunately, there are some really good maternity bras that are comfortable to wear and provide support in the right places, so the bust is not irritated during the period. In addition, the maternity bra can also be used after childbirth.
How do I choose a good maternity bra?
When you are going out to buy a maternity bra for your pregnancy period, we at Mammashop believe there are a few things you should look for:
Choose a couple of seamless bras. Then you can be sure there are no seams that irritate your sore bust. Also try to avoid underwires in your maternity bra, as these can also irritate the breast.
Check whether the bra has wide, adjustable straps, as this helps provide better support for the bust. Also make sure that the maternity bra provides proper coverage and thus supports your breasts optimally.
Try to find bras in cotton or a cotton blend, as this is a breathable material that allows your bust to breathe and is therefore more comfortable to wear.
Find your maternity bra in the right size
During the pregnancy period, your bust grows, so naturally it is difficult to get the size exactly right if the bra needs to fit from start to finish. We have a couple of tips:
Buy a size that fits on the innermost hook, so there is room to grow.
The maternity bra should be made of an elastic material so it can accommodate the bust throughout the period
