Winter coats/jackets?


Well, I am most definitely going crazy here because I bought a coat 2 months ago 2 sizes larger than what I usually wear. There was about 15 cm of space so I figured, this would get me through at least end of February. WRONG.

I am gigantic and I can barely close that coat now. And when I close it, I feel the pressure on my belly and it hurts.

I have checked all the maternity stores around and there is no selection at all.

What should I do? Go to a plus size store??
I am very small, I usually wear size 6, but in regular sizes, I can't even close the XL in some jackets (depressing).

Do you have any maternity stores in your region? Maybe you should look online for Maternity outerwear. If all else fails, you could always go up to XXL or 2X, but since it's just your belly that's growing the jacket wouldn't fit much anywhere else. I'd try maternity stores first and then use the plus size as a second option. Good luck!

Hey hun. I got mine from Ebay it is an Old Navy brand. You can also get them at Gap. I would strongly recommend looking on Ebay! I am sure you can find someone to ship to the UK. I am not sure if Gap or Old Navy ship there but you can try. I am assuming you live in the UK.. if not sorry GOOD LUCK!!!!!! Oh and I love ponchos! Sounds funny but.. I throw a poncho on if I am just running to the store and it is not too chilly.

Okay I just went and researched a bit for you. Old Navy and Gap don't ship internationally. BUT you can find some people on Ebay in the US that will ship internationally I am sure. There is about 85 coats when I looked right now. I also checked on Motherhood.com (not sure if you have this store) and they have 3 different coats and do ship internationally. I hope you find one, I didn't have one with my last child and it was chilly! So I can feel your pain! I actually got mine BEFORE I was prego with this baby- people thought I was crazy

I got mine at old navy and they have a TON of room in them for growing. Also Target has some cute ones and they have room in them too. I know how you feel though, I look dumb when I wear my regular coat cause its so tight around the belly!
