During the day a comfortable wire-free, seam-free and supportive nursing bra is the best option. You can start wearing this type of bra during pregnancy when you outgrow your regular bras. When you begin nursing, bras with full drop cups will allow you to breastfeed your baby easily and discreetly.
Should I take my bra off during labor?
Just make sure your bras and clothing are free of metal. If you need to have a cesarean delivery, metal can cause burns because of the electrocautery instrument (the device used to cut and cauterize). Keep these considerations in mind if you decide you really don’t want to wear anything issued by the hospital.
What is the best bra to wear during pregnancy?
Sleep maternity bras are softer, lighter bras. Cotton is a good fabric that remains light and breathable. You’ll need a bra with wide straps for your growing belly and breasts. You can try a supportive sports bra that takes off some of the weight and pressure of your growing breasts.
