Whether you live in an area where the wintery months drone on and on or in a part of the world where the cold snap is quick, adding a cozy coat to your maternity wardrobe can keep the frost at bay. If you’re expecting a baby between the winter and spring seasons, a coat is more of a necessity since most of your pregnancy may be spent bundled up. 

Maternity coats are designed to accommodate your growing bump, with some styles featuring a 3-in-1 configuration that can be worn multiple ways: during pregnancy, while wearing a baby carrier, and as a typical coat. Just like non-maternity coats, there are a variety of options out there, from lightweight rain jackets for drizzly spring weather to calf-length, fleece-lined puffers to keep you toasty in super frigid temperatures. Maternity coats are a pricey investment, but worth it if you'll be in your third trimester during the colder seasons. You can also skip the coat and opt for a coat extender. With zippers on either side, the universal panels attach to your non-maternity coat, giving it extra room for your bump.

Here are the best maternity coats to wear when it starts to get nippy outside.

Best 3-in-1 Maternity Coat

3-in-1 maternity coats have a similar silhouette to non-maternity coats, with the primary difference being that they come with a center extender panel, adding extra coverage during pregnancy. When baby arrives, the extender can go over your carrier to keep you both bundled up. After baby-wearing days are behind you, just remove the panel and keep wearing the coat. With this much versatility, a 3-in-1 coat can be a smart investment.

Best Formal Maternity Coat

While your favorite special occasion coat is likely on a nine-month hiatus, you can opt for a bump-friendly option that is flattering while leaving space for your growing baby. Wool blends will be warm and the material will drape over your bump instead of squeezing it awkwardly. If you’re someone who prefers to size up in standard clothes versus buying something specific for pregnancy, a longer coat with a wrap-style closure is a bump-friendly option.

Best Casual Maternity Jackets

If your pregnancy manages to skip over the coldest months of winter but you still need an extra layer of warmth for the fall and early spring seasons, these lightweight options are perfect. They're light enough to add warm layers under and can be worn with just about any outfit.

Best Maternity Rain Coat

It’s true that your rain jacket may not see much action, but when it rains, you’ll be glad you have one, especially if you’re expecting a late spring or early summer baby.
