Baby, It's COLD Outside! What Are You Wearing?
| Thu, 01-24-2013 - 8:28am |
The recent freezing cold weather has many mamas-to-be wondering whether they should invest in a maternity coat. Here's what we think: If you've only got a few weeks to go when you hit the can't-button-your-coat mark, j ust bundle up underneath and wear your regular coat, or borrow your hubby's parka. (No one expects you to look fashion-forward when you're almost 40 weeks pregnant!) But if you need both hands to count the weeks until your due date, you'll probably want to make the investment.

I'm in the West Coast. We've had some cold days and evenings, but I do what I do every year: Layer. I can't button my coat, but I just wear layers underneath. I did have to buy a few pair of maternity tights, because my favorite dresses were just too cold without an extra layer. Of course, among the activities I nromally do which require more warmth are snowshoeing and visiting the mountains. I don't have the lung capacity to snowshoe right now, and we haven't taken any trips to the mountains. We have taken trips ot the Valley, where the dampness makes it feel colder. So I layered while there.
I bought a lands end long heavy coat in a bigger size at the thrift store this fall that still closes rather than a maternity coat, that and I paid less than $10 for it.
