Background: Result: The above table shows the distribution of women according to AFI in postdatism pregnancies. In the 40-41 weeks group, only 6 (12.0%) women had AFI < 5 cm, while 44 (88.0%) women had AFI > 5 cm, while in the 41-42 weeks group, there were 15 (30.0%) women with AFI < 5 cm. There was a significantly higher proportion of AFI < 5 cm in 41-42 weeks group in comparison to the 40-41 weeks group (P<0.05). The above table shows distribution of women according to outcome of labor in both the groups. In the 40-41 weeks group, 22 (44.0%) women had undergone normal vaginal delivery, while 28 (56.0%) women had undergone LSCS. In the 41-42 weeks group, 16 (32.0%) women had undergone normal vaginal delivery, while 34 (68.0%) women had undergone LSCS. There were comparable distribution of women who underwent normal vaginal delivery and LSCS in both the groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Current research demonstrated that is increased in the risk for both mother and babies. Absolute risk of adverse event associated with gestational age. NICU admission one of the risk factors attributed to prolonged pregnancy. Reduction in perinatal mortality is seen when caesarean section is done between41 weeks and 42 weeks. In this complex clinical condition we should identify the fetus at risk and to institute an appropriate management following adequate counseling of patient. The study shown incidence of MSL increases by 14% in 40-41weeks and 32% in 41-42weeks.
