I have a simple question to ask but I have so far failed to get an answer from literature and colleagues. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places. I am trying to ascertain who divided labour up into defined stages, and when. As a student midwife in the 80s I learned the definitions and the timimg for each stage of labour but who first drew these demarcation lines? Could anyone help me?
