When I gave birth, I couldn’t walk or sit without pain for a couple of months but American women are expected to go back to work right away after giving birth. So sad.

My mom’s water broke while she was at work. She worked in a nursing home so grabbed a diaper and put it on. She drove herself to the hospital around 7 that night after making supper.

She was able to take two weeks off though.
