The whole sample was constituted by the totality of births in prolongad pregnancy during the period where the study group was exclusively formed by pregnants who underwent induced labor (n = 104).Variables of mother, birth and conception product were taken, and percentage method was applied to data collected. The group of most frequent maternal age was 20 - 35 (65,5%), prevailing nulliparous (40,4%) and transpelvic labor (42,3%), having a Bishop index = 7. The most frequent cause of cesarean section was fetal distress (23%), prolonged pregnancy was not an important cause of low Apgar score.
