Why is there no lab coat for pregnant women?

After confirming my pregnancy, the first thing I did was to disclose it to my lab supervisor and colleagues. The reason was simple. I am a scientist who conducts experiments in a laboratory full of hazards. I soon learned that most toxicity information about reagents is designed based only on adult males and I couldn't find a lab coat fits me during my pregnancy!
