class women

*Louis Pasteur demonstrated that streptococci were the major cause of puerperal

fever that was killing mothers after delivery

birthing purposes

used on women during childbirth in the United States

*The United States was the 17th out of 20 nations in infant mortality rates


*Fifty to 75% of all women gave births in hospital by 1940


*Nurseries were started because moms could not care for their baby for

several days after receiving chloroform gas

that reduced the "fear-tension-pain" cycle women experienced during labor

and birth
