Subject: gravida/para

I think it makes sense if she is currently pregnant.  Gravida 11 -- pregnant 11 times, then the 2-0-8-2 means she has had 2 live births/ 0 preterm births / 8 miscarriages / 2 living children.

help on gravida-para
Subject: help on gravida-para

I'm still a student, and I've been presented with the phrase "gravida 5, para 4-1-1-3, and asked if it "refers to 5 pregnancies resulting in 4 full-term deliveries plus 1 premature birth plus 1 abortion/miscarriage with 3 living children".


My belief is that 4 full-term, 1 premie, and 1 miscarriage should add up to gravida 6, making the above formula invalid. Is that an accurate assessment, or am I missing something?

G 5 P 4-1-1-3 actually means that this female was pregnant 5 times, gave 4 living births (not full-term), one of these 4 was a preterm baby, she had one abortion or still birth, and she has 3 living children.


I hope that I was of any help.

Do you type this as:

G 2 P 2-0-0-2? 


I put a space in between the G/number and P/number.  Am I doing this wrong?  If we were typing out the words, we'd be typing gravida 2, para 2.  Thoughts?
