Answer: Q8) The most common reason for postdate pregnancy is: a) Inaccurate gestational age. b) Fetal anencephaly. c) Oligohydramnios. d) IUGR. e) Advanced maternal age. Correct Answer: a) Inaccurate gestational age. The causes of post-term births are unknown. Due dates are easily miscalculated when the mother is unsure of her last menstrual period. When there is a miscalculation, the baby could be delivered before or after the expected due date. Post-mature births can also be attributed to irregular menstrual cycles. Most post-mature pregnancies are because the mother is not certain of her last period, so in reality the baby is not technically post-mature. However in most first world countries where gestation is measured by ultrasound scan technology, this is less likely.
