Nursing Bras from Bodywise
The Full Bloom Everyday Deep Cup Nursing Bra gives you great support and incredible comfort. The Velcro drop down cup allows your breast to be fully exposed when you undo it, as opposed to traditional nursing bras which have an A frame, which can sometimes get very tight around your breast, especially when they're very full. It is really important that your nursing bra does not put pressure on the milk ducts.
Ill fitting Nursing bras
Tight nursing bras are a major risk factor for mastitis. The wide back on Bodywise nursing bras has no hooks or eyes, which makes it really comfortable to sleep in. Bodywise nursing bra cups are fully cotton lined which makes them absorbent as well as looking good. The Bodywise midriff band on the nursing bra has a layer of very soft stretchy elastic inside it, which gives you a snug fit.
Growth in your nursing bra
Make sure when you first try on a nursing bra that there is enough room for growth. The general rule is that you should be able to fit you closed fist inside the cup with your breast. If you can only just slide your hand flat into the cup you may not be allowing enough room for growth once your milk comes in.
Most women should expect to go up at least one body size as well as one cup size in your nursing bra during pregnancy. This is due to the rib cage making room for the baby and the expansion of your breasts preparing for lactation.
About Bodywise and Nursing Bras
I was pregnant and I couldn't get a black nursing bra. In fact, I was actively discouraged from even trying to find one. I was told, 'Pregnant women shouldn't wear black lace dear?', as if I was some sort of weirdo. So I started a company to make beautiful underwear for pregnant women, including our range of comfortable nursing bras!
Apparently there were lots of other women out there who felt the same as me - they wanted something feminine to celebrate their pregnancy, instead of the scaffolding that was on offer at the time. Designing for pregnant women requires an awareness of the dynamic state of the body as well as the need for it to be worn, during breast-feeding, for long periods of time. What we ended up with was the most comfortable underwear any of us had ever worn. Our nursing bras are no exception.
We realized that women's bodies are by nature, dynamic and the same design concepts applied for all of our lives, not just during pregnancy. Bodywise nursing bras are a unique, 'breast friendly' solution. Simple, comfortable, everyday bras you don't want to rip off the minute you get home. Like slippers in a world of stilettos, Bodywise Underwear is wearable well-being for every stage of your life. Please visit our site to see our full range of nursing briefs.

For some reason, our culture has managed to separate sexuality and motherhood... to de-sex pregnancy, which is a bit silly really... when you consider how you get that way in the first place...
Traditional cultures don't suffer from these inhibitions.
The Chagga tribe of Uganda, advise couples in the last months of pregnancy to reduce their lovemaking from ten times a day to three times a day...
We on the other hand, encourage pregnant women to dress like 5 year olds, trivialising the extraordinary transformation that is taking place. Taking the sex out of pregnancy, sanitises the process and discounts the creative power that a pregnant woman quite literally embodies.
When people reach out to touch a pregnant woman, it's an ancient impulse to be near the lifeforce. They are warming their hands at your fire. A pride in the curve of the belly is a potent declaration of a woman's power.
Your unborn child is profoundly affected by every aspect of your lifestyle. Your food and drink build your baby’s physical body and your emotional reactions have their effect on your baby’s senses and character. The more love and joy, peace and serenity, health and wholeness that you experience in pregnancy, the richer the harvest for the whole family.
During pregnancy the fat deposits are there for a good reason. In ancient times when food was intermittent fat was a survival mechanism. It ensured the babies survival. It still does. Don’t be afraid of the weight you gain during this precious time. Nursing will help shrink the uterus once the baby is delivered. You need all the energy you can get!
