Abstract
Aim. To assess the incidence and course of labor and delivery in women with post-term pregnancy.
Materials and Methods. We studied 6,506 medical records of women admitted to the Birthing Center of the Podgorbunsky Regional Clinical Emergency Hospital during 2015-2017. Out of them, 130 women with post-term pregnancy were assigned to the study group, and 130 women with full-term pregnancy (37-41 weeks) were enrolled in the control group to evaluate the frequency of maternal and neonatal complications.
Results. The incidence of post-term pregnancy was 2%. These patients commonly suffered from obesity. Chronic hypoxia, gestational anemia, gestational diabetes were among the most frequent complications of pregnancy. Women with post-term pregnancies had higher prevalence of premature rupture of membranes, abnormal labor, and cesarean sections while their newborns had higher birth weight and lower Apgar scores.
Conclusion. Post-term pregnancy is associated with a high risk of both maternal and neonatal complications. Labor induction after 41 weeks of pregnancy is an efficient preventive measure.
