After my first-born, everything went on all right, but after my second,
I was very ill with my breasts, but, of course, I put that down to my
husband’s lack of work. He was thrown out for twelve weeks just as baby
was born, and, of course, it was a dreadful worry to me. Fancy 10s.
coming in for twelve weeks, 5s. 9d. for rent out of it, and a new baby.
I am not the only one, but I felt I could never have any more, as much
as I love children, and now, after eleven years, the thought of it
makes me feel ill. During the time of pregnancy I suffered dreadfully,
and my heart goes out to all my poorer sisters, and if there is
anything I can do to help in any way, I am at your service. Of course,
I am far from strong, but as long as I can, I am quite willing to help.
