Maternity Winter Coat

[Rufus200]

I bought the most lovely warm winter coat off of Zulily. Brand is Momo, which you can't get in the UK. Price included all taxes as shipped from US. Shipping was £3.99. Just thought I would recommend as I couldn't find a down filled maternity coat in the UK.

A HUNDRED QUID for a coat that will fit for a few weeks?! Some people are bonkers.

[mummyneedinganswers]

Agree running I'm being induced in ten days and have refused to buy coat until I give birth as maternity coats are extortion and normal coats don't go over bump as its huge.

[Artandco]

I just wore a normal coat, wore open and added a thick scarf to cover the gap/ bump at front. No additional cost of you already own a large scarf, otherwise buy a large scarf but can wear for years after

I then did the same with baby in a sling and wrapped scarf around baby and sling

I have just ordered this one. I have till March till Bubs comes.

Rufus, the coat does look really warm! Hope it looks good

[LumpySpaceCow]

They do one at next similar that isn't a maternity coat but they sell a maternity insert to go in. Voila, pre and post maternity coat

60 quid altogether.

I just use normal coats with chunky scarf like pp.

[FatimaLovesBread]

Separate what is the h&m one like? I've been looking at that.

I didn't have a coat with dd1 but she was born in Nov. This one's due in April so I have the coldest months and Yorkshire weather to contend with. And I'm nesh so I think I need one this time

[FatimaLovesBread]

*sepa even. Bloody autocorrect

[MyNameIsSuz]

Damn it sepa, I wanted that coat but when the weather turned I was getting desperate, they were sold out in all but xl! I had to buy a more expensive one from topshop.

I think if you can make do with a normal one great, I really resented spending the money (ds was a September baby so I didn't need one last time). But my normal coat was getting too small all over due to weight/water, so my arm movement was getting restricted, and even with a scarf on I was not warm enough with it open. I spend a lot of time outside with my 3yo in all weathers, I need two hands for most things and can't be constantly rearranging various layers. So although I really didn't want to part with £70, so far it's been money well spent. If I don't have any more dc I can sell it.

[Artandco]

A way to shop the scarf and open coat moving is to add a large belt over the top. But that obviously depends on bump size. Ds1 was born in February but my bump was still fairly small over December/ jan/ feb

[sepa]

Fatima, it's on order so I will let you know when it turns up. Even deciding what size to get is a nightmare. I went for a large so hopefully it will look good.
I will put a photo up when it comes

I bought one from Vertbaudet using their 30% voucher so about £70. I agree it's expensive for a maternity coat (£100 before discount too) but it's one you can wear after maternity too and has a cover for a sling, so I'll give it a whirl. I plan to look after it well and eBay it after!!

[Icklepickle101]

Inaugural the H & M one and love it!!

I'll wear mine after the baby too as it has drawstrings just below boobs so can have some sort of shape.

Very warm and waterproof

[Jenni190886]

Another vote for the h am m parka. I'm 33 weeks but been wearing it for a while and because it has the drawstring I could pull it in a bit. It's great now the weather is getting miserable. I got the m and am usually as 12-14 and it fits fine, probably a bit big but means there's room to wear jumpers underneath it

[TriJo]

Have the 40 quid H&M one - it's an awkward fit on me, I was a busty 10-12 pre-pregnancy and a medium is quite big on me but a small is tight in the shoulders.

[sepa]

Ah, I'm a 12-14. Maybe I should have got the M one and not large. Oh well, if it's way too big I will send it home. The sizing was confusing as my bump made me really big by the measurements but they don't tell you how to work out for pregnancy!
