I bought a bigger size somewhere in the first trimester and then 2 more (nursing/maternity) toward the end of my second in an even bigger size. Both times, I got them a Target b/c they were cheap and nice and don't know when I'll stop growing. The first purchase was with extra nipple 'reinforcements' b/c I started poking out a lot and I was experimenting with various maternity clothes. And the second purchase was without the underwire, for comfort. I'll likely go to NOrdstrom's for a late third trimester treat and get a really nice comfy and appropriately sized one.
Isabella Fine Lingerie in Chicago (www.shopisabella.com) does not have specific bras for maternity, but I buy all my regular bras there and they helped me find a wonderful bra to use while pregnant as well. The bras there are pricey but awesome. I am now in my 2nd trimester and outgrowing that bra so I think I will go back and visit them again. I tried on some "maternity" bras at Macy's last week and was horrified by the terrible fit so hopefully Isabella's will come to the rescue :)
There are some great resources online for maternity and nursing bras. Try mommygear, momshop and breastchester for inexpensive, quality bras. (Though I think Breastchester might have gone out of business).
I went to our local store like Marshall's or TJ Maxx and got a cheap, normal, wireless bra (I went up a band and cup size) during my second trimester. I will get a nursing bra closer to my delivery date, and expect to get a larger one once milk comes in.

Hi all! When did you all start buying maternity bras? My boobs are getting too big for my normal bras. Any recommendations? I'm only 12 weeks, so I figure they're going to continue to grow... should I try to factor that in when buying new bras now? Thanks for all advice!!
