Since we’re all friends here, I thought I would take a moment today to talk boobs. Specifically, pregnancy and boobs.
A blossoming bussom has always been something I dreamed pregnancy would bless me with- you know since puberty and genetics didn’t work out so hot for me that area (just being honest). However, now well into my 3rd pregnancy I can safely say– pregnancy does not bless me with boobs either. Sigh.
What it did bless me with though? A wider thicker back. Mother Nature can have a cruel sense of humor.
While we were on vacation, James and I planned a fancy-ish date night. Being a girl who LOVES to get dressed up, I packed my favorite flowy white maxi dress. The one I had worn for Ry’s communion back in late April.

It’s not maternity, but it is a halter that had room to begin with, so without even trying it on… in the suit case it went.
Date night came, I tried it on… and um…yep. That wasn’t happening.

Thankfully, I am an over packer and had back up.

Not going to lie. I was still a little bummed I couldn’t wear the white dress but, the silver lining? I got to wear a bra that was a lot more comfortable.
The Bravado Essential Embrace Nursing Bra, I had received in the mail before my trip fit like a glove with this dress– and when your expecting (or a new Mom)- fashion and comfort need to meet and besties like they’ve never been besties before.
And ladies, let’s be honest- it all starts with the bra. This is a rule even when you aren’t expecting.
A good bra is essential! It changes the way your clothes look, it changes the way you feel… in short, a good bra can change your life- especially with the body changes we experience when having a baby.
Unlike the strapless I had planned to wear, the Essential Embrace bra’s super soft and seamless microfiber cup gave me support without an uncomfortable underwire (Which did you know can actually clog milk ducts while you’re breast feeding? I had no idea.), and did not create any dreaded back fat!

If you are in the market for a comfy nursing bra, below is a graphic that details just what makes the Bravado Essential Embrace bra different.
