I have eight children and one miscarriage from ptomaine poisoning. And
never can I say I have not had every care on every occasion. My husband
from the first saw that I had the necessary requirements. During the
pregnancy of the last four I suffered from varicose veins, and there
were days when I could not get about so well, but on the whole I am
pleased to say I have always been able to do ordinary housework, with,
of course, rests between.
After confinement, I always had the month out before commencing my
house work, but I took the management of my baby as soon as possible,
say from two weeks old.
