Abstract: In a series of 2,972 patients who were studied prospectively from the first trimester of pregnancy, the incidence of prolonged pregnancy (42 weeks and beyond) was 11.4 per cent. Prolonged pregnancy was found to have a significant correlation with maternal age and race and with vaginal bleeding during the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. The difficulties in the diagnosis of the duration of pregnancy during the first trimester are discussed.
