Okay, let’s talk about this genius little contraption that saved me from freezing during my third trimester! The MakeMyBellyFit jacket extender is *chef’s kiss* for pregnant folks in cold climates.
Versatility FTW: It turned my favorite non-maternity coats into belly-friendly layers. No more awkwardly leaving my coat unzipped like a flapping penguin. Post-birth bonus? It doubles as a babywearing cocoon—so cozy for my little nugget!
Installation Hack: Some reviews mentioned zipper struggles, but here’s my tip: if your jacket has a bottom zipper nub (looking at you, Columbia), slide the extender on TOP-DOWN. Worked like magic for my North Face and Carhartt too.
Comfort Quirks: The neck area can get scratchy with all the extra fabric, but a chunky scarf fixed that. Also, yeah, it’s pricey—but cheaper than buying a whole new maternity coat I’d ditch postpartum.
Final Verdict: 10/10 would recommend. Even my skeptical husband admitted it’s clever after seeing how snug our baby stayed in -12°C weather. Worth every penny for surviving Canadian winters!
