Explanation

A. Maternal hypertension: Epidurals are more likely to cause hypotension, not hypertension.

B. Prolong labor: Administering an epidural too early can reduce the effectiveness of contractions and delay cervical dilation.

A. “You will experience urinary retention.” B. “You will have a decrease in vaginal discharge.” C. “You will experience a surge of energy.” D. “You will have a weight gain of 0.5 to 1.5 kilograms.”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. “You will experience urinary retention.” Urinary frequency, not retention, is common due to fetal descent.

B. “You will have a decrease in vaginal discharge.” Vaginal discharge increases due to cervical changes.

C. “You will experience a surge of energy.” Known as "nesting," this is a common pre-labor symptom.
