This is probably the bra that fits me the best at the moment (30 weeks pregnant). It fits quite comfortably on the loosest hook, but I can also wear it on the middle one without pain. This should give me some grace for water weight loss when the baby is born. What I love the most is that it has a nice cut out at the bottom of the center gore so it is not cutting into my pregnant belly. The lace will also be quite forgiving should I go up yet another cup size (already up 4!!), though at this particular cup size, ... I don't think it could handle any loss of tissue and still fit well.
Some cons are that the straps are really wide on my narrow-shouldered body. If I try to hug myself, it cuts into the fronts of my armpits. I can remedy this with a "hide-a-strap" if I wanted to. Also, it's a little high under the armpits, but not that it digs in. It peaks through some tank tops though. I wish the center gore wasn't so high as well. It digs in a bit when I slouch, but that's just encouraging to sit up straight. The biggest complaint about this bra is just that it doesn't easily hide under v-necks (high center gore) or tank tops (wide straps and high underarm wings).
As I come near my due date, I'll probably convert this into a nursing bra. I really like the side support and the structure created by the 3 part cups, which is something you don't find in nursing bras in this size!
