Okay ladies I need some help here as this is my first baby...

I have outgrown my bras once again. My chest is big to begin with (I started at 34D)... I am wearing a 36D now and I need a new one once again.

I have read that by 4-5 months you should be wearing a maternity bra. What is special about a maternity bra? Where do I buy one (remember I need one for a bigger girl and I need to be properly measured)?

I am planning on nursing so I have been warned by one friend that finding a nursing bra when you have big chest is impossible.

I look forward to hearing any advice!

I've never worn a maternity bra...I just went right into my nursing bras. I'm still in my regular ones right now as they still fit quite well. (After weaning my DS I shrank a LOT and had lots of room to the point where I was needing new ones, but never got any new ones! Now I don't have to!)

Uh, what does she mean by big chested? I am in a 42DD nursing bra right now, which is too small. They most certainly make larger size nursing bras.

I'd go to a dept store to get properly measured and then buy online if possible. I'm just wearing my larger regular bras...I need all the support

SAFE to going home.

I think with my first I bought nursing bras -- but with the twins I just stayed in my regular bras (bigger sizes). Personallly, I did NOT like nursing bras at all -- I need the support and they did not offer it.

I think I had purchased most of mine at JCPenney -- and you WILL be able to find much larger sizes than a 36D, no problem!!

The nursing bra I have upstairs is very supportive. I was fitted for it by the LC at the hospital my daughter was born in. I will have to look at the brand. I think its Medela.

Just wanted to give you another suggestions if your cup size is staying the same and you just need more room around, you can consider a bra clip extension. It hooks on both ends of you bra clip so you can get an exta 2-3 inch.
