Question

which of the following is an argument against the use of epidurals? an epidural can act as a teratogen. an epidural slows infant reflexes like breathing. an epidural strengthens the mother’s contractions. an epidural can lead to early onset of labor.

Explanation:

An epidural is a pain - relieving injection during labor. Slowing infant reflexes like breathing is a negative effect. Teratogens cause birth defects and epidurals aren't teratogens. Strengthening contractions is not a negative. Early onset of labor isn't typically associated with epidurals.

An epidural slows infant reflexes like breathing.
