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.

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.

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