Hi,
An excellent article that explains the whole ketone story:
Anderson, Tricia. Is ketosis in labour pathological? The Practising
Midwife, Sept 1998 Vol 1 No 9.
See also:
Odent, Michel. Labouring women are not marathon runners. The
Practising Midwife, September 1998, Vol 1 No 9
There is probably some useful references on Sarah Wickham's website -
www.withwoman.co.uk
Hope this helps

really...just feel for Di...as think she did a great job as some
hospital midwives would have thrown it in the too hard basket and
called the doc for the vaccumm waay before; what with the fetal
distress and all (tongue in cheek)..... And yep beating up on
ourselves is a real midwife trait isn't it! Especially when you
have rotton doctors and others putting their 2 cents worth in about
you decsions!
Can anyone think of the reference for the ketone thingy?..
