THE PATIENT WHO PRESENTS LATE – GENERAL INFORMATION
Some women present late because they genuinely did not believe themselves to be pregnant, often at the extremes of the reproductive age range, or because they have irregular cycles. Some deny the problem until the bulge begins to appear, or hope that they will miscarry. Others sadly may be the victim of a laborious system and unnecessary delays in pregnancy testing and in hospital clinics. Other women are just too inadequate to sort themselves out quickly. A small proportion may delay because of true ambivalence about the pregnancy or perhaps they hope that if they leave it long enough, the doctor will turn down their request for abortion.
