More than ever, your breasts will feel quite sore, tender and full on week 32 as they prepare for breastfeeding. You will eventually feel the need of buying a maternity bra.

Benefits of a maternity bra
Wearing the proper fit and type of bra ensures that your breasts don’t go saggy. Wearing a maternity bra is recommended as this gives a different kind of support and comfort specifically designed for pregnancy.

Maternity and nursing in one
The first thing you should consider when choosing a maternity bra is to go ahead and buy the nursing bra instead. After all, nursing bras can also be worn before you give birth.

Be professionally fitted
While you can, seek professional help when fitting a maternity bra. Most attendants are trained to assist pregnant mothers in fitting. A poor fitting bra - either too tight or too loose - will only make you uncomfortable.

Different styles to choose from
Depending on your preference, there are plain, colored or printed bras. There are also those laden with lace and other embellishments. A rigid underwire is not recommended because this is quite uncomfortable. Instead, go for a flexible underwire support.
