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