I find that people have become so fashion conscious these days that, even during their pregnancy, they want to only be seen in the latest brands. For example, one of my friends who is in the final trimester of her pregnancy asked me if I would accompany her to the local shopping mall. I asked her why, to which she replied that she had grown out of her old dress and needed a bigger sized new one. However, she said she would only buy from a specific shop that carried high-priced brands. I found that pretty amusing, but to each her own!
