If you’re currently pregnant and in the first trimester of your pregnancy, your breasts are likely to feel tender and swollen. Your old bras may fit you, but if you’re experiencing a tingling sensation, your old bras may feel uncomfortable against your skin. You can begin wearing your Mumba Bra at this stage.

Choose a Mumba Bra size that caters for the bra size you’re currently wearing, and you want to be able to close your bra on the tightest hooks at this stage of your pregnancy.

If you’re in the second or third trimester, most of your growth at this stage is around your rib cage. This is because your body is expanding to make room for your baby to grow. Some women will also see their cup size increase by one or two sizes too.

If you’re buying your maternity bra at this stage, you can go ahead and choose the bra size you used to wear. The reason for this is because you’re only larger around your rib cage due to your baby bump. But from around 38 weeks, your baby will drop down getting ready for birth, so you’ll feel some small release in your bras around your rib cage and furthermore after your baby is born.

Therefore, your bra should fit comfortably on the loosest setting around your rib cage at this stage, to allow you to tighten it once your baby is born.

Many pregnant women experience breast changes, but plenty of others don’t – and that’s normal too. Some women’s breasts simply don’t change much during pregnancy; however, you will notice changes when your milk comes in after your baby is born! So, choose a Mumba Bra that accommodates your current bra size. The stretch and the flexibility in our bras, have already considered the changes in your breast size.

Measure yourself and follow the size guide to choose the size of the bras that you are wearing now. Our stretchy fabric will allow for any fluctuations during breastfeeding.

The Mumba Bra has been designed to grow with you throughout your pregnancy. It’s advance fabric composition, makes it extremely comfortable to wear, that you won’t want to take it off! But just in case you have to, we advise that you buy a minimum of two, so that you have to wear and one in the wash for tomorrow!
