Pregnancy and the arrival of a new baby are exciting times - full of joy, wonder and unique moments. As well as the changes that bringing a new child into the world will have on your life, those that your body will be going through are no less significant.

Here at Amoralia, we offer a wide range of maternity and nursing bras to support you throughout your pregnancy and after your bundle of joy arrives. Our collection includes maternity and nursing bras that are beautiful, feminine and stylish, made from luxurious fabrics and offered in pretty colours.

And while they're lovely, fashionable items that any woman would love to have in her wardrobe, our collection of maternity and nursing bras also provides the comfort and support that you need at this stage in your life.

What is a maternity bra?

Around eight to ten weeks into your pregnancy, you'll probably notice that your breasts are starting to grow. This is due to hormonal changes and your current bras will start to feel uncomfortable. It is during this period that you need to start looking for maternity bras to see you through the next few months.

Maternity bras are made from stretchy fabrics that will adapt to your new shape. They are non-underwired to ensure that the new breast tissue and milk ducts are protected as they develop, and they offer better support than regular 'soft' bras in order to protect the delicate skin and prevent stretch marks.

They also should have a closure with six rows of hooks-and-eyes, so that you can get the most wear out of them as your ribcage expands outwards. Just like regular bras, they come in many different styles, including strapless and multiway options, as well as moulded or seamless styles.

You can opt for beautiful lacy numbers with pretty straps, or elegant basics. Whichever design you choose, you'll look and feel fabulous - whether it's for a trip down the red carpet, or something a bit more intimate.

Buying a nursing bra

Between 37 and 38 weeks into your pregnancy, your baby will start to move in your womb, slowly dropping into your pelvis. As this happens, you'll notice that your ribcage will become smaller and you may need to tighten your maternity bra a bit.

It is around this time that you should consider purchasing nursing bras. Also known as feeding bras, these are designed to make it easy for you to breastfeed: special clips enable you to discreetly open one cup at a time.

They have stretchy cups that adapt to your fluctuating breast size (you can go up to two cup sizes between feeds!), a soft cotton lining to absorb leaking milk, space for a breastpad and a six-row hook-and-eye closure so that you can tighten the bra as your ribcage falls back into place.

With all of their useful features, our nursing bras are also pretty, so that you can feel confident and beautiful while you wear them. From playful pink polka-dots to lavishly lacy lingerie via seamless, invisible microfibre pieces, you'll have plenty of options to choose from to match your desires and your style.
