Oligohydramnios poses a dilemma in the choice of mode of labor and delivery in a setup where there is lack of continuous electronic fetal monitoring during labor. The condition also puts the mother at risks of operative interventions and cesarean delivery. We aimed to asses the maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with oligohydramnios in late term and post term pregnancy in this study.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers with diagnosis of oligohydramnios after 40<jats:sup>+\u20096<\/jats:sup> weeks of gestation at four hospitals at four public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from May 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021.

Spontaneous labor and elective cesarean section were more likely to occurr in parous women (AOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.06\u20136.04, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04), but with less likely in those with secondary level education (AOR 0.13, 95% CI 0.02\u20130.74, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02). There was no statistically significant difference in adverse outcomes between those who had induction of labor and those who had either spontaneous labor or had elective cesarean section.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in late term and post term pregnancies with oligohydramnios may not be different among different modes of delivery.
