The woman in labor should be encouraged to use the Valsalva maneuver (holding one's breath and tightening abdominal muscles) for pushing during the second stage. Is this statement true or false?

F
The woman should actually be discouraged from using the Valsalva maneuver. This
activity increases intrathoracic pressure, reduces venous return, and increases venous
pressure. During the Valsalva maneuver, fetal hypoxia may occur. The process is reversed
when the woman takes a breath.
