An epidemiological, observational, analytic, longitudinal and prospective study of 44 pregnant women with childbirth date at 42 weeks or more, assisted in "Dr. Nelia I. Delfín Ripoll" Teaching Gynecological and Obstetrical Hospital from Santiago de Cuba municipality was carried out from January to December, 2013, with the objective of characterizing them clinically and epidemiologically and to determine the influence of prolonged pregnancy in the binomial mother-son. Among the excellent results there were: the high incidence of non reliable date of the last menstruation in the nulliparous group (51.9%), the childbirth through caesarean section (29.5%) whose main cause was the failed induction (38.4%), followed by the cephalopelvic disproportion (23.1%); the syndrome of meconium aspiration as complication in the newborns (29.5%), and the uterine atony and bleeding (6.8%, respectively) as complications in the mothers. It could be concluded that in the series, the prolonged pregnancy generally took place in women with reliable last menstruation date, the indicator of primitive cesarean section was increased and the presence of complications was more frequent in the newborns than in mothers
