    I have a toggle coat so I just made do by keeping the bottom clasp or two open. I felt a little chilly but it was only for a few weeks. And I am not outside that much for my commute.

    Decision made! I just bought one online! It's only a cheap coat - £40 - but then everything I wear is pretty cheap.

    I am due in January and live in NE. I had been struggling with what to do, I have a wool swing coat that will see me through most of my pregnancy but I was worried about the cold and being outdoors walking the dog. I tried to find a reasonably priced down jacket with no luck.

    I came across a Canadian company that sells the insert which essentially allows your existing winter zipper jacket to grow with you, Make My Belly Fit (there may be others like it). It is awesome! We obviously aren't in the coldest part of the winter but the panel is nicely made and I purchased the fleece insert for the coldest weather. All together I spent around $80 for the insert, extender for my long down jacket, and the fleece insert. Plus I hope to be able to use it for baby wearing down the road.

    @Cherrybee: I did! I lent it to someone and need to drive over and get it back!!
    Worth the investment, especially in a cold climate.

    I sized up and I am due in January in AZ so hopefully I won't need a legit maternity coat.... we'll see if I regret my decision! The post today definitely made me wish I could afford something like that!
