Option 3 : Respiratory alkalosis

Concept:

Labor -> The process of delivering a baby.
Contraction -> Caused by prostaglandins -> Helps push the baby out of the uterus.
Acid-base balance -> Normal ionic balance in the body -> Maintains homeostasis
Lungs and kidneys plays a key role in maintaining acid-base balance of the body.

Explanation:

Rapid breathing -> Indicates lower availability of oxygen.
Over irregular breathing causes -> Respiratory alkalosis.
Higher blood carbon dioxide content -> Indicates respiratory alkalosis.
Progesterone -> Brings pregnancy to term -> Stimulates the brain's center for respiration -> Leads to respiratory alkalosis.
Treatment -> Oxygen therapy

Metabolic alkalosis -> Does not usually occur in labor
Metabolic acidosis -> Does not cause rapid breathing -> Cause deep breaths.
Respiratory acidosis -> Its symptoms differ from respiratory alkalosis -> Tremors and jerks.
