Influences of different fasting conditions of women on the health of neonates. a. The Apgar scores for neonates in 3 min between 5 groups did not show statistical difference (P < 0.05); b. blood glucose levels in group A and group B were significantly lower than those in C, D and E (P > 0.05); c. The incidence of hypoglycemia in group A and group B was significantly higher than that in group C, D and E (P < 0.05); d. The pH of neonatal umbilical arterial blood in group A and B displayed an obvious decrease compared with group C, D and E (P < 0.05); e. Incidence of pH < 7.2 in group A and group B were significantly higher than C, D and E (P < 0.05). Notes:A, solid food ≥8 h and clear fluids ≥6 h; B, solid food ≥8 h and clear fluids ≥2 h < 6 h; C, solid food ≥6 h < 8 h and clear fluids < 2 h; D, solid food ≥2 h < 6 h and clear fluids < 2 h; E, solid food < 2 h and clear fluids < 2 h
