Post term pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity as well as an increased maternal morbidity. Comparison between induction of labour and expectant management of post term pregnancies in terms of perinatal outcome and rate of caesarean section. Present study was conducted in the department of gynecology in COMJNMH HOSPITAL, KALYANI. 100 patients were selected using above defined criteria, 51 patients had in Induction of Labour and 49 patients had in Expected Management. Present study was conducted November 2019 to March 2020. Difference of mean hospital stay vs. management was not statistically significant (p=0.0618). Association of NICU in management was not statistically significant (p=0.1251). In Expected Management, 4(8.2%) patients had MAS. In Induction of Labour, 1(2.0%) patient had MAS. Association of MAS in management was not statistically significant (p=0.1548). Induction of labour also do not worsen the perinatal outcome with respect to expectant management when considered.
