Abstract
Aims and Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the maternal and perinatal outcomes in low risk early, full and late term pregnancies. Study design: A retrospective cohort study of low risk women at term pregnancies were categorized in to early, full and late term. Statistical comparison was done using Cramer’s V test. Results: Out of 1500 women with low risk term pregnancies, 26.4% were early term, 64% were full term, and 9.1% were late term. Spontaneous progress was seen in 46%, acceleration with syntocinon was required in 41.7%, gel induction in 12.3% among which 88.1% delivered vaginally with 20 instrumental deliveries and cesarean section required in 11.9%. Statistically significant variation was seen when early term compared with full and late term. Neonatal outcomes showed more number of LBW, NICU admissions, and neonatal deaths in early term group compared to full term with significant P value. Conclusion: Mothers who deliver at or after 39 weeks of pregnancy have better perinatal outcomes than do mothers who deliver before 39 weeks.
