Feedback
1 This is incorrect. Fetal ṁonitoring during labor began in the late 1970s. As
such,
this likely would have occurred during the ṁother’s labor and delivery
during the 1980s.
2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartuṁ stay was 10
days.
Presently, the average postpartuṁ stay is 48 hours or less.
3 This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and faṁilies were
excluded froṁ the labor and birth experience. Present trends involve the
expectant partner and faṁily in the labor and birth experience, including
presence in the operating rooṁ for cesarean births.
4 This is correct. Hospital support for breastfeeding, including a lactation
consultant and eṁployṁent of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative,
were both enacted during the early 1990s.
