I am 8 months pregnant and went to a 38DD. I wanted to buy something I could wear now and nursing. I chose the L size. It is very comfortable and I suppose the pads sort of useful if nursing but it is not really that different from a sports bra with minimal support. Being larger busted I need something a bit more supportive> It is possible that once I am bigger it will fit better. It is definitely comfy. I like the extra wide back strap.
