Old Navy coats are reasonably priced. They even have a maternity section (not sure about coats). Just dont buy an XS.

I'm confused, why did you delete the original post?

I also realized my normal warm coats didn't fit. Since I was working through lunches & late every night I didn't have time to shop. I borrowed one from my mom in a larger size until I go shopping. I just borrowed a pea coat that is more of an A line so it gives more room for the belly.
A line tends to be a little more belly friendly
I was also going to say this. If she had said size 22 would we be acting differently? I mean XS coats and XXL coats are both kind of hard to find in maternity.
As terrible as it is for me to WK this after a not so sensitive edit to the post, it does seem like skinny shaming. Also, now every time I put on my non maternity coat I am singing that song in my head, and it did kind of make me laugh.

Sure, finding an xs maternity coat is hard, but going up 1 size wouldn't kill her, especially bc she said she was a midwesterner, layers, layers, layers. So if the question had been specifically help finding and xs maternity coat, then the snark would probably just been the normal, learn to google. But her phrasing was really lousy and i could see why it seemed like she was bragging about it.
However as someone who is plus sized, the fat man in a little coat reference coming from someone who is a size 2 prepregnancy is kinda... like, okay, I'm 6 sizes larger than you... if you feel 'plus sized' at size 2, how the frick do you view someone like me? It made me feel very back in hs when i started struggling with my weight and believe me, I've only lost weight so far but i am more self conscious about my body than ever before.
I don't blame her for being skinny. That's cool. My boobs are probably the size of her head. We will get attention for different reasons, but weight is clearly a sensitive topic and if you spend some time here, you'd know that. I think she was being a little insensitive on how she approached the subject, thus getting a lot of flak.
Also I'm pretty sure it was not John Candy in a little coat but rather Chris Farley....
Made me think of this haha
