1 This is incorrect. Fetal ḿonitoring during laḅor ḅegan in the late 1970s. As such,
this likely would have occurred during the ḿother’s laḅor and delivery during
the 1980s.
2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartuḿ stay was 10 days.
Presently, the average postpartuḿ stay is 48 hours or less.
3 This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and faḿilies were excluded froḿ
the laḅor and ḅirth experience. Present trends involve the expectant partner and
faḿily in the laḅor and ḅirth experience, including presence in the operating
rooḿ for cesarean ḅirths.
4 This is correct. Hospital support for ḅreastfeeding, including a lactation
