high expectations

i bought this bra bc i am newly pregnant and my boobs are KILLING me. i know, its not a maternity bra per say but strapping them down is all i was really looking for and since oprah recommended it, it must me amazing...i ordered a 1 (bust between 36-39 & rib cage between 31-33) i'm actually bust 34D & ribs 28 but i thought i'll get bigger. upon wearing it, yes like other reviews say it does make you flat but that is a welcomed change for me : ) however i couldnt hook the bottom 3 hooks bc it was SO tight on my ribs it was painful to breath...and thats at a size up of what i actually am. bc of the price i will wear it like that to bed until it falls apart.
