10 Maternity Winter Coats and Jackets That Will Look Great While Keeping You Comfortable
Amazon
Cold weather is coming, and if you're pregnant, a maternity winter coat could be on your must-buy list—unless you're wondering whether a coat for your pregnant body is worth the investment when you have so much to buy for your baby. Well, your comfort is always worth it, but you may also feel better about this purchase when you know you'll get plenty of use out of it even after your baby is born, because a quality maternity coat will take you from pregnancy to new motherhood.
Keep a few things in mind when you're considering a maternity coat: local weather, how pregnant you'll be during the colder months, and of course, your personal style. Will you need something professional to wear to work or something more casual for your active lifestyle?
One smart way to stretch your investment: a ″three-in-one″ maternity winter coat, which features a detachable middle panel that zips or snaps onto the coat to create more space. That way, you have plenty of room for your belly, and after pregnancy, the panel will help accommodate wearing baby and keep your new edition cozy. Later, you can remove the panels and have a coat that you can keep wearing.
