Abstract

Postdate pregnancy is an indirect cause of maternal and infant mortality. Generally, it can occur in 7% of pregnancies. The study aims to describe the characteristics of intrapartum women with postdate pregnancy, delivery method, and fetal outcome in 2018. The study was quantitative descriptive research using secondary data. The sample was obtained by a total sampling technique as many as 601. The results of the study showed that the majority of intrapartum women with postdate pregnancy were at the age of 20-35 years (75.4%), multiparity (55.1%), and spontaneous delivery method (73.7%). Fetal outcome (86.5%), babies who were not asphyxia and weighed 2500-4000 grams as many as (92%). All of these characteristics often occurred in the gestational age range of 40+1 – 40+6 weeks (56.6%), range 41-41+6 weeks (40.6%), and > 42 weeks (2.8%). The success of induction was indicated by the high rate of spontaneous delivery (73.7%), no incidence of asphyxia at > 42 weeks’ gestation, and low macrosomia rates (2.7%) in post- term pregnancies in 2018. Good fetal outcome due to the correct termination efforts can be one of the considerations in the preparation of Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) for the management of postdate pregnancies.
