Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

or will you just be wearing sweaters or something now that the weather is getting nicer?

I'm not sure if it's worth the money.

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

I'm not going to waste the money.
I'm due late June.
I'm still wearing my spring jacket from last year now.
I figure by late May I won't even need a jacket anymore so for me it's not worth it for 2 months ya know?
My regular spring trench from last year still fits fine anyway...

I was preggo this past winter in South Florida and the weather resembles NY spring (well, it was COLD this year)-I wore long sweaters, cardigans and layers. No need for a coat!

I went through this when PG before. I opted to use an oversized sweater. It would have been a total waste for me to get a spring jacket - a complete and total waste.

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

I won't be spending the money. I am due late June. I have many sweaters that look good and still fit and keep me pretty warm.

I am using the money I would have spent on a coat to get some capris and short sleeve tees since all I have now are jeans and long sleeve blouses.

That's what I figured would make the most sense.

Thanks, ladies!

LOL I am still wearing my winter coat b/c it has a hood. When it gets too hot for that I am going to wear my spring jacket unbuttoned.

I am being REALLY cheap with my maternity clothes. Chat Icon

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

Today I just wore a sweater "coat" with a light scarf and was totally fine. I also have a denim jacket that I'll just wear open, which I normally do anyway!

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

I got one last pregnancy for $30-something at Motherhood. Considering this is the 2nd full season I am wearing it, it was well worth the money.

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

I have a jacket from last year that I think I can get by with- it;s like a sweatshirt material and it flows away from my body in a good way. Although, the cashier at the food store asked if I was pregnant.

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

I'm seriously trying to avoid it. Most of my spring jackets can't button/zip now, except for one which is more like a rain coat type material. But it's that empire style that made you look pregnant whether you were or not that was "in" last year.

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

i'm trying to avoid getting a rain coat b/c it's already warm down here and I'm due in under 3 months now. But I have been wondering if I should get one that has a belt that I can use afterwards as well.

I think it really depends on how far along you are and if you'd wear any kind of jacket even during crazy summer storms.

I don't think so. I have a wrap that I can use and a couple of sweaters. I don't need anything else.

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

Thankfully i still fit into my trench coat - so I will be wearing that as long as possible buttoned up and then, open with something heavier underneath. I am so hot lately - it doesn't matter how cold it is outside, I am too warm for a coat

Re: Is anyone getting a spring coat/jacket?

Nope. I didn't even get a winter coat. I wore mine until I could no longer zipper it, then stole one of DH's. I am too warm all the time to even need one.
