Abstract
FEW discussions between members of the obstetric-pediatric partnership have been as troubled as those concerning prolonged pregnancy. The obstetrician, quite properly, has resisted pressure to take routine action more likely to reduce the safety of the many than to relieve the risks of the few, at least until they can be identified. His pediatric colleague, on the other hand, has stood by in vague but increasing alarm as the expected date falls further behind, and no one can seem to do anything about it. The problem is not yet solved. But both partners may, to some extent, be victims of confusion as to just what the problem is and how it should be attacked.
