Are you buying a Maternity winter coat?

Amy&Andy · October 2009

Since it's snowing here in NE today (UGH!) I started thinking about what I was going to do about a winter coat since the 3 I have aren't going to fit here pretty soon....are you buying an actual maternity coat, or just a normal one, but in a bigger size? Anyone know of any other places besides Motherhood that sell maternity coats? TIA!

No. Most of my coats are a little big, anyways. If I really start to outgrow my coats, then I might buy a new coat, but just in a bigger size.

Someone posted a link to a really cute Old Navy coat yesterday I think. I won't be getting one-don't really need one in Miami. Huh?

gap maternity is having a sale right now on coats....although they only have a few.

I was going to I live in Northern Illinois and it's a must. I had a friend lend me her maternity coat though! Score!! But I was not going to get just a "bigger size" because I am petite and it would have looked crazy. I want to look pregnant not overweight lol I was going to get one on Ebay!

Old navy has some cute ones, and they are probably the least expensive (unless you want to search consignments stores). I am definitely getting a maternity coat rather than a normal coat in a bigger size. I will already be the size of a house, and I can least get something that will be the most flattering cut for a pregnant shape. IMO a non-maternity coat that will be big enough to cover my bump will just make me look obese.

Not sure if I am getting one or not. My current coats fit okay if I just don't button the stomach area buttons. target and old navy have some online that are fairly inexpensive.

I want to can't find one though

I just ordered one from gap online.

I hope it works out. I'm really not into online shopping but it seems like the only way I can find good maternity stuff.

someone gave me one otherwise I probably wouldn't have. I never used one with dd who was born in December. I was usually hot as h*ll then anyway just from being pregnant

Shaunah · October 2009

nope just wore it undone right toward the end. I had no problems fitting into my jacket the rest of the time.

mbgreenwalt · October 2009

I'm going to get the cheap one at Old Navy. Not wearing a winter coat in MN is not an option, but I am not paying a fourtune for one I will only wear 2-3 months.

Depends on how big I get ... it will be freezing here in Chicago and won't likely be able to stand just partially zipping up my down coat ... so, if I can't zip up, then I'll might have to break down and purchase one.

Yeah, I'm in Chicago too.. and I think I'm going to try all my coats on and see if I can find one that works before I break down and buy anything else.

target online has some cute ones that aren't too exprensive. That's probably where I'll get mine.

It gets very cold and windy here...my other coats are already getting too tight in the tummy and I don't think I'll be able to deal with just not buttoning them. So I ordered this one from ON. It feels like it's going to be pretty warm and very roomy!

aocain02@yahoo.com · October 2009

I live in SoCal so there is no need for a coat. I got the sweater coat from ON though since it's heavy enough for what we call cold.

I just got this and LOVE IT! It will fit over my belly and is pretty good looking. I figure I will probably need it after the baby is born too.

I actually ordered this coat as well, I have found gap fits great with the maternity, so if you have regular clothes from there it will work fine.

In Minnesota it is a must and my vest is very tight and it is already below 40 in October so I figured I had to get a coat to last until February in the cold that will come in the next few months. Gap and Old Navy have some very good quality and cute jackets.

akgram · October 2009

Never have! We are right niext door in IA my Columbia coat is a little big so it will work just fine. For some reason I'm always hot while pregnant so I've also just worn my fleece alot of times

sammy.k · October 2009

I love the Gap jacket. Too bad it's over $100... no way Im spending that kind of money on a coat that I'll wear for like 2 months.?

?

The ones at Target are really cute. They are better looking in person then they are online. ?

dt5570 · October 2009

Borrowed a maternity coat from my sister-I would have checked Target if she didn't give me since they are reasonably priced for the short time it would be worn.

tmahloch · October 2009

i bought a jacket yesturday at Kohls, it is a normal jacket and my normal size but it has buttons so it will adjust to my belly. this way i can wear it for the next few years. i looked at maternity jackets and i dont think it is worth the money.
