Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The last few days of pregnancy is an exciting experience for the mother and her entire family. But if she did not deliver within the calculated expected date of delivery, not only the patient, her obstetrician also became anxious and usually they don’t have the patience to wait for spontaneous onset of labour. Consequently many patients are induced once they cross the given EDD, even if they remain in low risk category and there is no other indication for immediate delivery. Whether it is good or bad for the mother and baby? Aims and objectives To study the perinatal and maternal outcome of patients who are induced at or after 280 days with those who are allowed to go for spontaneous onset of labour Method This study is a retrospective study and the data was collected from hospital records. The study period taken was between March-2017 and September – 2017. The maternal and fetal outcome of 200 patients who crossed their EDD was analyzed. Results We studied the first 200 patients who went for post EDD Pregnancy. Among them 93% of patients’ belonged to age group less than or equal to 30 years. Only 7 % of patients belonged to >30 years age.In our study among the patients who went for post EDD Pregancy, 67% are primi and 33% are multigravida . In our study after crossing the EDD, 53% went for spontaneous onset of labour between 281 and 287 days. 47% were induced for labour .
