3. Large-for-gestational age infant.
4. Forceps-assisted delivery.
Correct
2; 3; 4
Rationale:
1. Polyhydramnios is not associated with postterm pregnancy.
2. In a postterm pregnancy, an infant can be large or small for gestational age depending on the health of the placenta. With a healthy placenta, the fetus will thrive and become larger than average, but if the placenta begins to deteriorate due to decreased perfusion, the infant might begin to lose muscle mass and subcutaneous fat because of decreased nutrition.
