Abstract:
The reproductive performance of primigravidae aged 30 years and over was compared with that of a group of younger primigravidae. Other patients were at greater risk for antepartum complications such as pre-eclampsia and uterine fibroids. Induction of labour was undertaken more frequently, and the Caesarean Section rate was higher but there was no worsening of perinatal mortality.
