Abstract: Long-term pregnancies are known to increase the risk of stillbirth. Women are commonly given the option of induction of labor after 41 weeks of pregnancy to prevent this unfavorable outcome. This advice is supported by data showing that the risk of stillbirth increases after 41 weeks. However, 1 in 3 stillbirths happen before 41 weeks of pregnancy.The magnitude and consistency of findings by gestational week in various research on the risk of stillbirth in what is considered to be a normal term gestation differ. Matching newborn mortality estimates are imprecise. We did a systematic analysis to determine the incremental weekly risks of stillbirth in term pregnancies that continue versus deliver at various gestational ages. We also examined the week-specific risks of newborn death by gestational age at birth.
