New mum A/W outfits?

Due to have a baby very soon and trying to think about what to wear this A/W. I remember being very hot with DC1 even in winter so although I need to wrap up as planning to be outside as much as possible for my mental health, but don’t really want super thick jumpers. Will hopefully be breastfeeding. Am pear (currently whale) shaped, usually 10-12. Average height. Live in quite a trendy part of London so don’t want to feel super frumpy (no wrap dress!) but want to feel comfy and warm.

I’m thinking:

High-waisted, wide leg trousers (to cover csection/be forgiving whilst I’m between sizes)
Breast-feeding vests
Over-sized sweaters? Maybe slightly cropped?
Chunky trainers (Which ones?)
What kind of coat? Ideally waterproof but non frumpy!

Any ideas? Where should I be looking? Usually shop on Vinted, Uniqlo, sometimes H&M, and like browsing in Arket/Other Stories etc.

H&M is quite good for what your after also I would recommend boohoo and pretty little thing as all 3 have great nursing ranges which I have used snd would recommend. For Chunky trainers I would recommend the on cloud monster as they are very thick. I have a pair of on cloudswift and although they are not as chunky they are the most comfortable shoes I have owned.

@Supportyourlocal Thank you! Just looking at the trainers, hadn’t heard of those before!
