Maternity Winter Coats

Hi C.,

My son was born in January, so I was in your position! Rather than pay for an expensive winter maternity coat that I would only wear for a short time, I found a wonderful fleece full-length wrap at Kohl's that worked perfectly. It was big enough to wrap completely around my pregnant belly, and warm enough to keep me cozy as I walked outside. Plus it didn't cost me an arm and a leg - I think it was $30 when I bought it two years ago.

Happy wishes for a healthy pregnancy!

They definitely make maternity winter coats. You could check out Mimi Maternity, Motherhood Maternity, Gap Maternity, or A Pea in the Pod. I don't know how much you'd need a very heavy coat though because I remember being really really hot all the time as I got bigger. I've seen many women just wear their regular winter coats unbuttoned. You'll probably be warm enough.

I bought a really nice one from target for only $50.

Hi C.:

My daughter in law wore a warm poncho as I recall. It kept her warm and covered. Her babies were born in November and December.

I hope this assist you.
Blessings,

Possibly worth the ride to Six Flags outlets--they have a nice Motherhood Maternity outlet there. You might want to call first to see if they have them in yet.

There are also some consignment sales coming up in the area--plug in Maternity on craigslist.org for info.

Why not just ask around to friends, family, and coworkers to see if someone has one, most likely it would be gently used. I know it is the type of thing I would love to pass on to someone else to get good use of if I had one sitting in the closet!
