I have 8 weeks left until baby is due, I'm on the larger side with huge breast so I need a lot of support, the ones I wear now are not the best..
Should I wait until my milk comes down to buy a decent maternity pair ??
Or buy one now ? but worried my size will change to much ..
When is best to buy a maternity bra ?

Wait until it comes in for sure. During the year I breastfed and pregnancy I went through 5 different sizes so if you don't want to spend a fortune on bras I'd say when you need a new size but 1 or 2 really good ones and just constantly wash them. It's a pain but I found in a couple of months I'd need a new size again
I started wearing maternity bras about 14 weeks into my pregnancy. I used the same ones for when I was breastfeeding as they had like 6 hooks on the back which adjusted with my pregnancy. I'd be looking at going for a sizing now and getting it done soon. One less thing to think about before Bub is due!
I'm big cup size, I'd buy one now, I found they are softer cups so had a bit more give in them. Those first few weeks you won't have time to go shopping for bras and feeding without a maternity bra is a pain!
Buy now. If you wear a normal bra with an under wire it can damage your milk tissue in the bottom of your breasts. Maternity bras dont have under wire for this reason. They are also extremly supportive. When you first wear them they do seem tight but will give alot of supoort when your milk comes in. I found the best ones where the ones with the clips on the front for easy access. I also found when my milk came in i was so engorged that i couldnt go without my maternity bra even in the shower.
