When it comes to finding a good maternity bra,
mother knows best:

Choosing a maternity bra for pregnancy and breastfeeding can be a trying experience. There are many choices, some great, others not so good and the decision is not an easy one to reach. Do you need to sleep in your maternity bra? What type of opening should it have for nursing? And probably the biggest question is what size will you need? Here are some of the answers for bra selections available today.

A nursing maternity bra should be soft, supportive and very comfortable. The nursing access should be easy-to-use, have a one-handed clasp of plastic (for fastening and unfastening) so you can cradle your baby in your other hand, and have cups that fold down completely out of baby's way, It is also nice to look for underbraiding to add support without having to use an underwire.

Choosing a maternity bra you can sleep in is perfect for those mid night feedings or for just lounging around

Many sleep bras are made of a cotton/Lycra knit for gentle support that's comfy enough to wear day and night. They securely hold a nursing pad in place and stretch aside for easy breastfeeding.

Statistics say that over 80% of all women are wearing the incorrect bra size. And with maternity bra customers, that statistic is also true. A lot of women are wearing larger band sizes to compensate for the cup size that is 2-3 sizes too small.

Many maternity bras are designed to perfectly fit a range of 3 (or more) cup sizes to adapt to your changing breasts. In many cases these bras can be worn during and after pregnancy; in fact, many women purchase good quality maternity bras during pregnancy when they begin to outgrow their regular lingerie, and wear them until (and after) their babies are weaned.
