  i'm in Jersey and debating getting one.  These boys will be here by January 7th at latest so not sure I'll need a heavy duty one.  Have to try my one on from last year and see how much room I have! 

  Me (37) DH (39); PCOS changed to Unexplained, changed to DOR in 2012 (finally a correct diagnosis!); 

  Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.  

  Clomid + Trigger x2; 

  IUI + Femara x1,

  IUI + Follistim x2;

  IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.

  IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life. 

  Identical twin miracle BOYS (!!) headed our way- due date is technically 2/4/14 but c section is scheduled for 1/7!

  I just got a new northface before I became pregnant and didn't even think about winter coats but I hate to be hot so I'm thinking ill wear a zip up hoodie underneath and put the northface unzipped ontop. I'm on the border of plus size/regular size so I don't even know where to find a plus maternity coat that isn't online.

  I haven't decided yet if/when I'll buy one. I'm due in March, so I assume I'll need one.
  
  BTW, Old Navy is having an up to 40% off sale today on Outerwear, including maternity.  Plus, if you use the code at the top of the page, you'll save another 15%.  Definitely helpful if you want to buy one today!

  I got one off of an ebay auction for $25.  It's from Motherhood and used but was machine washable so it seemed brand new.   The only issue I have is that it isn't quite as warm as I would like it to be - and now my sweatshirts are also not fitting.  I really do not want to buy too many things that I will only use for a few months. 
  

   TTC #1 since 6/09
  Dx: PCOS and MFI
  3 IUIs, 4 IVFs = BFFN
    3rd RE: IVF #5/FET = BFP

  I got a cheap coat in larger size. Likely both of my pregnancies are in the winter when I am huge. I got it at Old Navy. It was less than 15 dollars. 

  
  

  Good luck to all!

  Too funny!  I just ordered once from Old Navy yesterday - after the sale price and extra 15% off, taxes, and free shipping, it was less than $55!  Can't wait for it to get here - I'm only 7wk2d, but my regular winter coat won't button, and I get cold really easily.  The one I ordered apparently isn't super warm (according to the reviews), but at least I'll have something that fits and buttons this winter when I'm getting huge with twins in my second trimester!

  I got this maternity long wool-blend coat from Old Navy. It was on sale... plus I caught one of those 30% off plus an extra 15% off sales that they have sometimes. It's not super warm, but I live in the south, so I figure it will work for me through the end of February! I've already worn it a few times, and it's very cute!

  I think I saw an email from Destination Maternity today announcing a sale on jackets. I think I'll be able to use a big shearling swing coat I bought in Italy a few years ago. But for now I'm still fitting into a normal jacket snugly.
