Book Chapter
Prolonged Pregnancy
2012
Overview
The timely onset of labor and delivery is an important determinant of perinatal outcome. Both preterm births (defined as delivery prior to 37 weeks' gestation) and postterm births (defined as delivery after 42 weeks' gestation) are associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. Much attention has been paid to the problem of preterm birth despite the observation that antepartum stillbirths account for more perinatal deaths than either complications of prematurity or sudden infant death syndrome, and the fact that the risks of postterm pregnancy can be easily avoided by earlier induction of labor. This chapter reviews in detail the risks of continuing pregnancy beyond the due date, the option of induction of labor, and the management of low‐risk postterm pregnancies.
