you see a working, well of course they do get them up nowadays, but in th you were supposed t to stay in bed for at least a fortnight after the mother was born but you  a lot of these mothers used to hop out of bed when the midwife had gone, and, and i mean if they'd got two or three children and a husband coming in and they hadn't got a mother or a neighbour or somebody to come in and do the cooking,i i mean she'd just get up and get on with it herself.
