winter coat?!
Can I find one anywhere?? Nope, and it's starting to annoy me slightly. It's as if pregnant women don't need to wear coats at all in the winter! Could anyone recommend where to get a warm, cheap-ish coat as I'm now 21 weeks and bursting out my old ones!
I live in macclesfield cheshire - we only have a Mothercare locally (with no coats!) or I have to traipse into Manchester. I've looked at H&M and Dorothy Perkins but couldn't see anything. Any ideas?!!
Thanks, Em

So I've just been freezing to death Until today when I dug out my Pineapple coat that I used to wear 2 school, it's a bit chavvy but has a kinda elasticy bit on the waist so it works with a bump.

Can't see the point in spending a lot on a coat you're only going to wear for a few weeks.
I'm 38+5 weeks now and I've gone through so many maternity clothes in different sizes that it's ridiculous - the best maternity ranges I've found are Peacocks and Dorothy Perkins - cheap and you don't mind only wearing them a few times!
What annoys me is that shops tell you to buy your normal size in a maternity version - I don't think these people have ever been pregnant - do they not realise that you get big everywhere else!!!

I didn't really want to buy a maternity coat as I thought it would be such a waste of money so I bought this coat from Next...

It is not maternity but the cut of it means it goes over my bump well, I bought it about 8 weeks ago and I am 36 weeks now and it still fits fine, it also means that I will be able to wear it again next winter as it is just my normal size.
FAO Gem24, i got some combats from New look the other day, Mauve-grey colour for ??20 (and im a size 12) they have a sale on in New Look now too so had loads of cheap stuff in!
Dorothy perkins have some Hooded tops for about ??15 which are good for under your pre pregnancy coat if you leave it open!

Listef - I also have my north face 'puffy' coat which still fits me, but I know what you mean about not being slimming! I look like an inflatable red snowman in it - but I guess it is warm. It won't stretch for too much longer though so I'll try some of the suggestions here. Thanks again.

Its from BHS and was 65.00... have a look if you can afford it, or watch for it coming in the sales.
