| 1. | Lying-in is not a modern practice, and it doesn't ease labour pains. But a good attempt at something different. | | 2. | Very good of its type |

I felt that there should be some reference to a bed or sleeping or similar for the clue to be solid. I awarded 3 and 27 4 each. These had depth in the word-play.
I gave points also to 7, 16, 23, 28, 36. These seemed solid as clues.
Others either had flaws in the construction, were too tangential to the word, or not concise enough to be enjoyable. |
