nursing bra q for those with more than 1 kiddo

[catmom]

I nursed DD for 27 months, and weaned 3-4 months before I conceived #2. My bra size never went down when I weaned. I would like to stock up on nursing bras now, but I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and order my current size (which was my nursing bra size with #1), or assume I will get even bigger (egads!). Any opinions from those who have nursed >1 baby would be appreciated!

I'm tandem nursing and I've gotten bigger. I got down to a 38 D and am now at least a 42 DD. I've still got the baby weight, though, as DD2 will only be 6 weeks on Saturday. I'm sure I'll go back down some once I start losing weight again.

I'm currently wearing a 30-G and that's in UK sizes. In US sizes, I'm a 30-I! If I get any bigger I may have try to pay for the kids' college by joining a carnival. And to add insult to injury, I still had supply problems. Hardly seems fair.

Thanks for the input, anyway.

Oh, and fwiw I didn't get any bigger when I got pg this time. Last time I went up about a cup size in early pregnancy. Hope that's a good sign.

I've been the same size with each nursing child.

I got pg with #2 while nursing #1 and pg with #3 while nursing #2. Let's just say I can't wait until these are mine again!

I can wear the same bras now as I could at the beginning of nursing #1. My breasts did go back to pre-pregnancy size after around 15 months of nursing #1, though. I nursed DS1 for 18 months and got pregnant a week after weaning, fwiw.

I nursed DS#1 for 11 months and found out I was pregnant with #2 two weeks later. I stayed the same size throughout my second pg, but once number 2 was born I went up another cup size and 11 months later am still up 2 cup sizes from my pre-pg size.
