tink they r seldom special maternity bras..most of them r nursing bras
u can try those normal departmental stores like OG, metro, etc...but they r skin coloured ones with no padding
spring maternity sells those nursing bras wif padding
else u can try mothercare...but more ex!

I brought eternity brand also , very cheap and gd , abt 9.90 for one
She don't need to wear maternity bras so soon. She can wait normal bra till she deliver. But since she will put on weight, she can get bra extensions frm maternity shops. I got mine from Spring at Suntec level 3 near toys 'r' us. But she will need nursing bra once she deliver as she need to breastfeed the baby.
It's really expensive preparing for the baby. The prenatnal care, maternity clothes, the baby's stuffs to buy, confinement nanny.
For maternity clothes, just buy normal tops but larger size. Pants you have to get maternity pants.
All the baby stuff you can wait for warehouse sale. On the 27 feb to 1st march there is a baby fair at expo.

Ya. there is free samples and discount too. But warehouse sales will be the best. Best to get after 12 weeks cos most M/C occur before 12 weeks. After that you are pretty safe.
Get the baby stuff slowly, no hurry. I started getting mine slowly over the months. Went to tollyjoy warehouse sale, it's really cheap. I also go to flea markets at east coast, there is second hand baby stuff. But detergent, baby powders, towels, diapers get during the last tri. Also, some of your friends and relatives will get stuff for you also or give you second hand items so check with them also.
I got most of my stuff expect for stroller, bathing tub and baby cot. Will be going to the fair to get some glass baby bottles and milk warmer.

This link is organising bulk purchase for nursing bra, the price is $20++, depends on design, slightly cheaper than Maternity Shop and design better than those cheap bra.

which part of chinatown?
HI! gilbert,
There are panties for pregnant mummies. Your wife can still wear her usual panties at first trimester but as her tummy grows, she may need to get those panties for pregnancy. I am using Triump brand. Large size can wear till full term. They have adjustable waist band.

Hi! Gilbert,
I was the same weight as your wife before pregnancy. I am wearing L size. I choose this size so that I can wear till full term since the waistband is adjustable. I wear those above bellybutton...dun really like those below. Mothercare brand is a good belly support brand but too expensive as compared to Triump.
Hi! Shill,
Some preg panties are no difference from the normal one except the size. There are brands which comes with belly support in front. It depends on your preference. I like to wear those without belly support...more comfy

i wonder if my wife shd start wearing non wired bras. now she wears wired bras which r bigger n wider. if buy maternity bras now, will she need to buy larger size ones later? now she is still in her first trimester. how many is sufficient.
last week i went to john little bra sections to see maternity bras alone. but i got quite a number of stares, even fr the staff. only 1 auntie served me, but she didnt provide much info n unfriendly, think she think that i am up to no good.
may i know which month of pregnancy did u shop for maternity bras n panties? did ur hubbies accompany u? my wife still not v comfortable going shopping now. can u suggest some place where staff wont judge the men when shopping for bras for pregnant wife?

It's up to individual actually. My fren and I are wearing normal bras and underwear still but bras are all non-wired as it's more comfortable. Not advisable to get maternity bras now as your wife will only get bigger. Best time to get is around 30+ weeks. Just get normal bras and underwear in the meantime. For bras, get extensions, i got them from spring about $4 for 2. That way, you still can wear normal bras. Save $$. My hubby always accompany me to get stuff actually, he ask the sales staff more qns than me. I got my underwear and bras from Metro. Nursing Bra from Giant. U can PM me if you have anymore qns.

Hi! Gilbert,
I am also wearing my normal bra during pregnancy. Like Joanna, I used bras extension. Unless your wife's cup has increased 2 or 3 sizes bigger, then u may need to buy new bras.
Usually my hubby will accompany me to bras section. Perhaps you may want to wait till 2nd trimester (after 13 weeks) then bring your wife to check ard for bras or panties. Maybe she wil be feeling better by then. Perhaps you may want to explain to the salesperson that you are buying for your wife who is having bad MS at home.
I only shop for panties when I realised that my normal panties cannot accomodate my growing tummy. Now at 30 weeks, oreli feel that L size is just enough cos tummy is big and pointed. Outsiders tot that I am going to due soon or carry twins!
