I love it, especially because i wear all the time even when not pregnant or babywearing, so it was worth the investment for me. It is pricey, but i think a bit cheaper online or you can search for secondhand ones. A big bonus are the huge pockets - so great when you are wearing the baby and don't want to carry anything, it fits my phone, wallet and a few other items :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1943159 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:45:51 +0000 dc yoga bee 1943159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I tried this one on, and was going to buy it until the zipper got stuck. Thinking it was a dud, I tried another and the zipper was stuck and wouldn't go up. I passed.

The buttons are all up top and the bottom is open so it was perfect for a growing belly and I can still wear it now.</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74683&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=120252022" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74683&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=120252022</a></p> <p>ETA - looks like Old Navy has good sales right now on maternity coats too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1942940 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 12:00:12 +0000 HappyBaker 1942940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I actually found a normal coat in a bigger size at JC Penney that was on sale for $20 instead of $100. I basically went into the store looking for the cheapest non hideous coat that can get me through the next few months and that I won't feel bad about not using again after this.</p> <p>It does look a little silly because I only button the top button, but I don't really mind not being trendy at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1942913 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:48:56 +0000 dc yoga bee 1942913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping! I ordered a maternity pea coat from old navy for $50 (didn't have in stores for me to try on). Well, it came yesterday and is completely ill-fitting. Anymore suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1917364 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 11:49:11 +0000 meredithNYC 1917364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a black belted puffer coat from Motherhood Maternity in the US.

My friend was going to buy a men's jacket because she figured that would be even bigger, but she tried some on and said the arms were too long. I guess the 2XL she bought seemed like a decent fit, just big?? I didn't ask her all the details.</p> <p>The jacket I have is one I already own - it was a gift and too large, but not like overly huge. The arms actually seem mostly normal to me because it's a puffy jacket. It just had extra space in the midsection. And it ended up being a tight fit with my huge belly, but it still zipped!! I'm hoping it still fits this winter because I think I'm even bigger this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1917066 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 09:25:32 +0000 Mamaof2 1917066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a large mens coat from Old Navy - it was super warm and now DH wears it when snow blowing!<br /> It was my last baby and I didn't want to spend much on a coat to wear for a few months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1917062 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 09:24:37 +0000 loki 1917062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: i'm just so worried about doing that and it being tent like in the arms/etc. but i'll try some on and see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1917052 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 09:21:57 +0000 Adira 1917052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Yeah, I'd look into plus size. My friend wears a large/XL and she just bought a 2XL winter coat for her pregnancy.

I have the Mcoat which converts to a baby wearing coat post partum. I love it!<br /> They also have a new one that is down and fur.... Looks awesome.</p> <p>I have a Fjallraven cape that isn't maternity but easily fits over my 31 week bump. I get compliments on it constantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1916985 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:54:03 +0000 loki 1916985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: ya everyone keeps telling me that but i am ALWAYS freezing so i can't imagine that changing too much with pregnancy. i agree, it's so frustrating not being able to try anything on! the only place i've seen coats in stores is old navy and i don't love them. that pea in the pod one is really nice though! thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-winter-coat-suggestions#post-1916980 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:50:51 +0000 nana87 1916980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was due this past April, I know what you mean about needing a good coat! I had SO much trouble finding one, I wanted to try it on in stores but the selection was awful everywhere I looked. I ended up with one similar to this (<a href="http://www.apeainthepod.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=162820070&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC8" rel="nofollow">http://www.apeainthepod.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=162820070&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC8</a>); that looks about the same though mine had a faux fur trim on the hood. It was pretty good, though not as warm as my non-maternity puffy coat.</p> <p>Btw, everyone always says that when you're pregnant you run hot and won't need a coat, but I was freezing all winter and was so happy to have a good coat! </p>
