I have heard of that.You don't have the idea at all.No, not at all. Are there any rules about women? Don’t wash your hair, don’t get cold or whatever because you’re vulnerable, you can take a shower immediately.No. You can take a shower immediately. In many cases, they're probably encourage you to take a shower if you've been in labor for quite a long time. Oh, even the medical professionals.Yeah.Okay. And now comes the very, very, very important thing. How long is your maternity leave? New mothers can get 52 weeks of maternity leave. 那就是一年喽, 产假是一年. Yeah, 52 weeks. And how early can you start taking it? You can start 11 weeks before giving birth. So roughly 3 months, the last trimester. And the minimum amount is 2 weeks. What does that mean? Minimum amount, you have to take?You have to take 2 weeks off.Okay.But, generally in the UK, women won't be staying in hospital for that long after giving birth.How long would they stay in a hospital after giving birth?If all is well, if it was a very smooth birth, they could go home after about 6 hours, 6 to 24 hours. I see, if there are no complications and such. So let's get back dial back to the maternity leave. I’m just quite curious about that. When you say 52 weeks, how are the new mothers getting paid? Are they still getting paid? The first 6 weeks are paid at 90% of weekly earnings. The rest of it is paid at ￡172.48. That's so exact for everybody? Yeah, for everyone. Let me calculate, 172 for each week. Okay? They'll be slightly under￡700 per month. Yeah. So it's not a large amount of money. Especially if you were making a lot before. Yeah.I see, do they get anything I know in Scandinavian countries, you actually get like the whole basket of all these baby products, or when you give birth, do you have anything like that?
