Background: The study was aimed to determine the mode of delivery, maternal outcome and perinatal outcome in prolonged pregnancy.Methods: It was a prospective observational study. Uncomplicated nulliparous singleton pregnancies who have completed 37 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were strictly followed. Total 200 cases were divided into study group and control group. Those who have crossed their Estimated date of delivery (EDD) were compared with term pregnancies (not crossed their EDD).Results: The study group and control group consist of 114 and 86 women respectively. The incidence of caesarean section (64.04%), induction of labour (50.88%) is significantly higher in the study group. It also shows that the occurrence of caesarean section (63.79%) is more in post-dated pregnant women who underwent induction of labour. The most common indication for caesarean section was fetal distress in both groups. The commonest maternal complication was prolonged labour and perinatal complication was fetal distress in both groups. The incidence of low birth weight was significantly less in post-dated pregnancy.Conclusions: Our study suggests that the incidence of induction of labour and caesarean section is significantly higher in post-dated pregnancy. Although the mean birth weight baby is more in them, a definite policy should be recommended for optimum timing of intervention to avoid maternal and perinatal complications.

“…High risk gestational age (preterm (less than 37 weeks) or post-term (more than 42 weeks)) are associated with labor complications in the form of bleeding through the birth canal, prolonged labor, mothers experiencing seizures, turbid and smelly amniotic fluid, the mother cannot bear to push and the mother is experiencing anxiety or intense pain during labor. [10][11][12] WHO reported around 830 women die every day due to pregnancy and labor complications. The risk of a woman in developing countries to die from maternal-related causes is 33 times higher than those living in developed countries.…”

Background and purpose: Labor complications are conditions during or after labor that can threaten life of the mother and the baby to be born. Some factors have been associated with labor complications, including inter-pregnancy interval and gestational age. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between inter-pregnancy interval and gestational age with labor complications at the Sele Be Solu Regional Public Hospital of Sorong City.Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The samples of this study were pregnant women who gave birth at the Sele Be Solu Regional Public Hospital of Sorong City in 2016-2018 and met the inclusion criteria. We used secondary data from the medical records retrieved in July to August 2019. We retrieved mothers’ identities (age, education, employment status), inter-pregnancy interval, gestational age and labor complications. A number of 261 samples (121 with labor complications and 140 without labor complications) were selected using convenience sampling technique. Descriptive analysis and Chi-Square test with SPSS 25.0 were performed.Results: Most of the mothers (85.8%) were in the non-high-risk age group, graduated from senior high school or above (82%), were not employed/housewives (68.6%), the majority (67.8%) of inter-pregnancy interval was in the non-high-risk group, more than half (52.5%) of gestational age was in the high-risk group and the most common type of complications (17.2%) was the premature rupture of membranes. There were significant relationship between age (p<0.001; OR=5.201; 95%CI: 2.275-11.889), inter-pregnancy interval (p<0.001; OR=2.955; 95%CI: 1.722-5.070) and gestational age (p<0.001; OR=4.606; 95%CI: 2.722-7.794) with labor complications. There were no relationship between education (p=0.166; OR=0.599; 95%CI: 0.312-1.151) and employment status (p=0.230; OR=1.428; 95%CI: 0.845-2.412) with labor complications.Conclusions: There are significant relationship between inter-pregnancy interval and gestational age with labor complications. Health offices and health workers have an essential role in minimizing the risk of labor complications by providing early detection of possible labor complications and active counseling to the community especially women of childbearing age.
