I dont want a full on coat, just a jacket with a hood, keep the rain from drenching me. At 33 weeks do not want to buy something expensive as dont have the £ and wont wear it again. Have tried buying a bigger sized thing you get in millets and just looks ridiculous as im only 5'3 and looks like im wearing my dads coat. Any suggestions?

I've got a child size pac a mac from Debenhams (age 14 I think); it is freakin' enormous - I managed to wear it zipped up over my bump! I keep it on the bottom of the buggy now - it has proved to be invaluable. It cost around £12 I think.

....you obviously don't find me on the style threads very often

Try your local freecycle group and see if anyone has anything suitable for free.

Bought mine from Decathlon in size 2xl, they have them from £25!

I borrowed my dhs for duration - can still use it afterwards for going over the sling if you have one.

or get cheap debehams one as washersuarus suggests (gap used to do cheap pac a macs too)

Live with looking like you're wearing your dad's coat. I borrowed a huge waterproof of DH's that was probably from Millets or similar originally.
