Objective: To determine the outcome of oligohydramnios in term pregnancy ending in normal vaginal delivery or C Section irrespective of induction. Study Design: Descriptive Study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obs & Gynae, HMC, Peshawar from 23rd January 2022 to 22 July, 2022. Methodology: A total of 289 pregnant female patients at term (37-42 weeks) presented to the Gynae OPD of our hospital with oligohydramnios (diagnosed clinically having AFI < 5%) were enrolled through nonprobability consecutive sampling technique. Sample size was calculated taking 75%10 proportion of meconium-stained liquor cases as an outcome of oligohydramnios, 95% confidence interval and 5% margin of error on WHO sample size calculator. Patients with singleton pregnancy, nulliparity, Bishop score <5, gestational age of 37-42 weeks were included. Results: Statistically insignificant differences were observed for various outcomes variables in oligohydramnios at term as meconium-stained liquor, Apgar Score < 7 at 1 min, NICU admissions, apgar score < 7 at 5 min with respect to age of patients as p-values of 0.702, 0.489, 0.244, 0.489 and 0.900 were recorded respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that oligohydramnios at term did not influence the outcomes in nulliparous women with unfavorable cervix.
