If a pregnant woman does not know what to choose when choosing outerwear, then it is worth taking a closer look at the parka jacket. It will be an ideal option for protection from the cold and provide comfort. And also it is quite “enough” for the entire duration of pregnancy, despite the constant growth of the abdomen.
Features and Benefits
Today, a lot of models of such jackets are presented, which differ not only in functionality and comfort, but also have a beautiful and stylish design and styles.
The main distinguishing feature of the women's park is the drawstring on the belt. Using such a lace, you can adjust the size at different times as the abdomen grows.
There are also special maternity sling parks that have special inserts for adjusting size. And for the postpartum period, such jackets have a baby sling insert.
The main advantages in favor of choosing parks for pregnant women will be:
- A fabric that does not get wet or blow.
- Warm lining.
- Loose fit.
- Drawstring with which to adjust the size.
- Additional lacing at the bottom of the jacket, protecting against blowing.
Models
Classic
The classic model of the women's park is a jacket to the middle of the thigh with a quilted lining, mainly made of faux fur. Such jackets have a high stand-up collar and a hood. The jacket is also distinguished by the presence of patch pockets and one pocket on the sleeve.
Transformer
Such parks are probably the most suitable option for pregnant women, because almost all elements are transformed depending on needs.
For warm and calm days, the lining and hood are unfastened; on some models, sleeves add this list. As for the hood, in some parks it is equipped with a vertical zipper, which turns the hood into a collar.
For those who are waiting for the baby to appear in the cold season, there are transformer parks with sling inserts. They allow you to wear the baby after childbirth.
Elongated
A very relevant model of recent seasons, it serves as a good alternative to down jackets. The hood of such a parka jacket is usually decorated with fur.
How to choose?
- When buying parks for pregnant women, you need to focus on size. You should not take several sizes larger, but at the same time the jacket should not become small with the growth of the abdomen. For this, in such a park there are special inserts and additional locks.
- On the sling insert there should be a drawstring on the hood for the baby, and on some models there are locks for the baby's handles.
- Choose a park with a heater, which is a thermofin and tinsulate. Such heaters guarantee a low price, easy care and have a small volume, unlike fur linings.
- It is mandatory to have at least a mid-thigh length with adjustable lacing to avoid blowing.
- A two-sided lock will help in late pregnancy with uncomfortable and constraining movements or when walking on stairs.
