Q: Maternity Bras

ok, so i'm 7+5 and my boobs have already grown by about 1 cup size, so i was thinking of getting a maternity bra, but i just had one quick question. as far as support and stretch goes, is there really any difference between a maternity bra and a nursing bra (i know nursing bras have the drop cups), the reason i ask, is because maternity bras seem to be so much more expensive than nursing bras, so if they're pretty much the same thing, as far as support and stretch goes, then i was thinking of getting these http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online/Maternity/2-Pack-Lace-Nursing-Bra/54143&resultsPerPage=100&attrList=Dept,brand

please let me know, any help is good. dont want to spend any unnecessary amounts for bras, thanks.

I started off as a 32DD and I made the mistake of going bra shopping and now after buying 2 $80 bras, I have to go back because I am growing out of a 32F! Try not to spend too much as you never know how much those girls can grow!! lol

Im now a 38 E ... up 3 sizes since beginning my journey, I have to say i have tried both and right now prefer the maternity bras i have, they offer more support than a nursing bra, but every women prefers something different. buy one of each to try see whats best for you :)

I have been wearing nursing bras my whole pregnancy and they are great. I am a 38 DD before pregnancy so finding support is what I needed and nursing bras are amazing and you dont feel like your being squished either.

i live in the UK, but that looks similar to something over here called a Belvia Bra, except the ones over here dont have drop cups. do you think getting a nursing bra would be ok then?

Ive been growing way to much with this one lol. This is my second and im already in a 46 E. I have always had trouble with comfort an support. The link below is the bra I just ordered. The support is great and absolutely comfortable to wear. I have issues trying to find a bra to fit.
