Question 1 of 5
Which role do Braxton Hicks contractions play in aiding labor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Braxton Hicks contractions help in softening and ripening the cervix. This is essential for labor as a softened and ripened cervix allows for easier dilation, facilitating the baby's passage through the birth canal. Braxton Hicks contractions do not directly affect oxytocin sensitivity (
A), prostaglandin release (
B), or maternal breathing (
C) during labor.
Therefore, the correct answer is D as it directly relates to the physiological process of labor progression.
