The difference between nursing bra and maternity bra
Do you have any idea how many cup sizes your breasts get bigger during pregnancy? It's different for everyone, but they will grow. A maternity bra provides space and support for those growing breasts during pregnancy. A nursing bra is designed for easy breastfeeding. So it is for after childbirth. This bra often has convenient clips or openings. Offering your baby the breast is therefore a lot easier.

A nursing bra is designed specifically for breastfeeding. Thanks to the convenient clips or openings, you don't have to take off your entire bra. You can open the bra with one hand. So you can feed your baby safely, quickly and discreetly. Most nursing bras are non-padded. This means the cups have no padding, allowing them to follow the shape and size of the breast. You don't sacrifice support and comfort as long as you wear the right size.

Sports bra as maternity bra
Sometimes women choose a sports bra as a maternity bra. This is because a sports bra also provides extra support and comfort. A sports bra without underwire can be flexible and move with your body during pregnancy. It provides good support during light activities such as walking or yoga. However, a sports bra is not always ideal for every stage of pregnancy. Especially if breast size changes significantly. In that case, consider wearing a specially designed maternity bra. These will fit better and provide more comfort.
