Post-term pregnancy is associated with recurrence risk in subsequent pregnancies. A history of previous post-term pregnancy is associated risk factor and these women are at increased risk of delivering newborns weighed ≥4000gm. Clinical counselling of women at risk of post-term pregnancy and timely management is recommended to prevent adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes.
