Then does it get better once you have the baby? It only gets worse. I spent so much of my time worrying about labor, and yes, the pain was awful, but after a while it's over. But then you have to live with what it does to your body afterwards. Breastfeeding hurts. Going to the bathroom hurts. Other things hurt. And you're tired and your clothes don't fit right and it takes a long time to go back to normal. I wish someone had told me, "Those first three weeks after labor are going...

The seasonal or casual work on offer meant few could afford comfortable places to live, though; landlords, well aware of the fact, threw up cheap housing without toilets, bathrooms and oftentimes drinking water. The over-crowding and disease appalled visitors. Behind one row of houses, Charles Dickens noted "a cesspool, bubbling and seething with the constant rise of the foul products of decomposition."
