I am going on a UK holiday next week and I have no waterproof coat. Can anyone recomend a reasonable, not too expensive one I can go looking for in the next few days? I have tried on a pack a mac in millets in navy. It was ok but all the lining was stuck together when it came out of the pocket and they always seem to look really creased. The only other thing I saw was a berhaus black jacket but they didn't have my size. Any recommendations gladly received. I am also 33 weeks pg and usually a size 10-12 if possible I would like to somehow do it up and still be able to use it after the baby arrives.....sorry I know its a bit of a tall order!

If you're really not too fussed, I know Primark do a pack-a-mac type with Cath Kidston-esque flower print. Can't vouch for the fit or how showerproof they are, but they're certainly cheap!

I've got a black primack one and it's actually not too bad. Although I can't vouch for its actual waterproofness.

I picked one up from Sainsburys last week,it is pink with white spots,folds into itself & cost £18,it has a drawstring waist & is really comfy.

Primark also do a showerproof navy spotty hooded poncho which would cover you well during pregnancy. They come up very roomy so should be fine, not sure if might be a bit too big afterwards. But at only £9 not too much to spend but again not sure how waterproof they would actually be.

sorry didn't realise you were the OP

If you're anywhere near a Decathlon they do good value, nicely fitted waterproofs. I have a 3 in 1 jacket that goes in at the waist and was about £50, their normal jackets were cheaper.
