Winter is here (for some of us) whether we want to believe it or not and I just got my coat back from the cleaners and it doesn't fit anymore. I can barely zip it over my belly and my chest and I need to find a coat like yesterday. Since we all will be pregnant during the winter season, I'm looking for advice on what type of coat I should get given that our bellies will be growing over the next few months. Thanks
Re: Winter coat suggestions?
Could you just layer and leave your jacket unzipped? Guess that depends where you live.

Last pregnancy my due date was 12/1 so I just wore one of H's coats for the last month or so. It wasn't very flattering, but it helped my cheap ass avoid buying a maternity coat. That is also an option for any ladies who can layer most days and but will occasionally need something that can be zipped (I'm in Colorado where our weather jumps back and forth between 65 and sunny and freezing and blizzard all winter long so there were plenty of days even in November last year where I was fine with a sweater and an jacket unzipped).

I actually just went to Burlington Coat factory and got a really warm coat in a M (since I usually get a small). I only spent $35. It almost fits me like a LG.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

Here is an option I wish I knew about before jamming myself into my existing coat, causing the pockets to rip apart.

To me, the money is worth it to keep your regular coat. Of course, I can't speak to how well it works, but I know I like products that make regular clothing work for pregnancy. Being short makes maternity clothes hard, no matter how much I'm showing now.
I broke down and got a bigger coat from Nordstrom Rack, as by now, everything is picked over and I wasn't in the mindset to pick something new that I'd want to keep for next year as well to go with the extender.
