Guilt generation was not the intention, sorry! It was more of a rumination on the sort-of advantages of my current frugality :) The thing is, for my own circumstances, I don't find myself really *missing* buying new clothes. Once in a while I have a moment of clothes-acquisition-desire, but really I have a wardrobe full of stuff that fits fine and that I like perfectly well.

I think being pregnant is one of those situations where buying new kit is inevitable! Although it does surprise me too that second-hand is hard to find. (Hope all is going well with the human-being-growing, btw :) )
