Summary

Post term pregnancy is a risk pregnancy. Aim of the study was to investigate whether induction of labor at gestational age 289(41 weeks+2 days) reduces neonatal morbidity compared to expectant management. Secondary aims was to assess the effect on mode of delivery and maternal complications, as well as assess women's views and experiences. Our 0-hypothesis was that induction of labor at gestational age 41+2 did not result in better outcome of pregnancy, measured as perinatal morbidity.
