| [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10455830/ O'Sullivan et al Anes 1999] || 94 women in labor || Women were randomised to light diet or water only || CSA and metabolic profiles were compared, as well as length of labor and labor outcome || Blood glucose and insulin were higher and plasma betahydroxybutyrate and non-esterified fatty acids were lower in the diet group. There were no differences in labor course, labor outcomes (e.g. mode of delivery, umbilical artery/vein samples, and APGAR scores). CSA was higher in the diet group as was emesis volume. | | [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10455830/ O'Sullivan et al Anes 1999] || 94 women in labor || Women were randomised to light diet or water only || CSA and metabolic profiles were compared, as well as length of labor and labor outcome || Blood glucose and insulin were higher and plasma betahydroxybutyrate and non-esterified fatty acids were lower in the diet group.
