Abstract

Background: Condition where the gestational age is over 42 weeks, is known as post-term pregnancy. This is linked to higher rates of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Both mother and the fetus are specifically at risk in postdated pregnancies. Mother experiences issues such as increased use of inductions, instrumental deliveries, prolonged labour, LSCS, and instrumental deliveries that themselves are connected with a number of morbidities, as well as fetal problems ranging from IUGR to macrosomia. The aim of this study was to identify the maternal and perinatal problems connected to postdated pregnancy.
