1 This is incorrect. Fetal monitoring during labor began in the late 1970s. As such,
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
this likelywould have occurred during the mother’s labor and delivery during
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
the 1980s.

2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartum staywas 10 days.
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
Presently, the average postpartum stayis 48 hours or less. ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju

ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
the labor and birth experience. Present trends involve the expectant partner
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
and familyin the labor and birth experience, including presence in the
