Winter coats

[MamaBerg]

Hi, I'm after some help. I need a god warm winter coat suitable for a growing belly. I'm due in feb 2016. Ive looked online but can't find anything suitable that's not incredibly expensive! They all seem to be 'light' jackets so not going to stand up to cold winter mornings. Any sugestions or recommendations please?
Thanks xx

I've just bought a 'mama' parka from H & M and it so so so snuggly, was about £40 but I will still wear it after the baby so good investment!

I had a red herring one from Debenhams in my last pregnancy. Was totally shit and fell apart before DS was even born - so avoid those!
This time I'm just wearing my oversized parka and hoping it will do to the end...

Check eBay. I just bought a really nice Asos maternity coat for 15 quid and it's like new.

I just bought one from New Look for £40. Had it on a few times and nice and cosy

I just wore my normal parka with a big scarf.

Keep an eye out for asos sales. They will definitely have a period where they discount maternity coats before the weather gets colder. Second ebay too, although maternity costs are really popular on there!

I'm due early March and have just bought a fab parka from verbaudet. It's got a bit you can add to the front to use after the birth when you are carrying baby in a sling (ie they are nice and snug inside the cost)!

I'm due end Nov, so the Vertbaudet parka looks like a really good option as it will straddle the end of the pregnancy and baby-wearing in the winter (which will hopefully keep both of us warmer!) - thanks for that tip, aaahcantthink, it looks like it might be a useful investment for the winter and at £70 isn't too extortionate. My lovely size 10 merrell parka is going to be too tight even after the baby's born so it'll have to wait til the following winter!

In my last (winter) pregnancy I found that my Uniqlo down coat zipped up over my bump fine (and I'm not one of those people who otherwise managed to get away without maternity clothes - big bump!). It was an A-line type shape, so that's probably why. Kept me toasty warm and added benefit that I continued to use it after pregnancy.

It's not massively glam but I'm due mid October and I've just ordered one of these

Reviews sounds good, it looks really warm, you can use a sling with it if that's your thing and there's 30% off at the mo.

I've pinched DH's rain coat! I'm due in December so will need something that will keep the bump dry rather than anything else. I plan to use some of the nice big pashminas you can buy in the cold weather underneath if I do feel cold. I'm not fussed about looking glam as long as I'm warm and dry, so a blokes coat will do me

Thanks for all the replies! Unfortunately DH is smaller than me so no pinching his and all my current coats won't do up at 19 weeks so I will order one of these suggestions. Thanks!

I saw a maternity parka in jojo today too. No idea price but might be worth checking out
