If you are pregnant, you might not think it makes sense to invest in a maternity coat. If you’re early in your pregnancy, or if it hasn’t become too chilly where you live, you might not need to wear a coat yet. But if you are starting to outgrow your pre-pregnancy coat, and it’s getting colder where you live, you shouldn’t try to tough it out until your baby arrives. Your own needs matter, and having a comfortable coat to get you through the colder months is important. Not only that, but even if you end up using a maternity coat for just a few months, it’s likely that you will still be able to use it after your baby arrives, as it can take some time to fit into your pre-pregnancy clothing.
