Research on effects of mothers' sedation during labor/delivery has shown

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the effects of maternal sedation during labor and delivery may interfere with newborn attention for up to one month. While there may be some short-term effects on the newborn's behavior and feeding patterns, there is no clear evidence that even very low levels of medication have deleterious effects on the newborn in the long term. However, some studies have found that heavy sedation during birth may have long-term effects on children's attention and motor abilities, lasting for two months or more. Overall, the evidence suggests that sedation during childbirth should be used judiciously and only when medically necessary.
