Small back large cup maternity and sleep bras - please help!

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and already have expanded from a 28g to h and still growing...I bought some size 30 bands recently expecting that my expanding ribcage would accommodate them but the backs still ride up even on the tightest hooks and I am far more comfortable on the looser hooks of my 28's.

I'm a @Ewa Michalak fan and am considering ordering some of her maternity plunges, and have heard that @Comexim also will make any of their bras in nursing style, although I live in Australia so any sizing mistakes are expensive with the postage, and the long lead times aren't altogether helpful with my rapidly changing size.

I'm keen to understand if anyone has tried EM and @Comexim maternity/nursing styles, and whether the underwires were flexible enough for this purpose? I'm open to other brands too although lower cut flexiwire bras are preferred (I've tried traditional full cup maternity bras and so far they have all cut in to my very FOT breasts).

I've been struggling to find any kind of sleep bra that will work for me - the standard brands all seem to come in s,m,l sizing and are all way too small at the front and gape at the back, leaving me with no support from the under band and too much pressure on the shoulders.

I've also noticed that it seems impossible to find maternity sleepwear (cami's chemises etc) with inbuilt bra support over a g cup and I'm very keen to track something supportive down that is suitable for hospital wear. I do have some @Bravissimo sleep tops but I'm concerned that they are unlikely to accommodate my tummy by the time I am 40 weeks!

Would be very grateful if anyone can offer advice on their experiences with the above.
Thanks
