this likely would have occurred during the mother’s labor and delivery during the 1980s.

Presently, the average postpartum stay is 48 hours or less.

experience. Present trends involve the expectant partner and family in the labor and birth experience, including
presence in the operating
room for cesarean births.

the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, were both
enacted during the early 1990s.
