In Reply to: Paralabial or perilabial - Patty
Subject: this is not true, the prefixes para- and pari-
are not always inter-changeable.
For instance in this case it is paralabial, parilabial does not bring any results.
Para- does not always mean the same as pari-.

Subject: BOS under prefixes says to omit the hyphen in most re- words. But..sm
say to use re-cover (to cover again not recover from surgery) and re-create (not recreate, meaning to play). Or use it if the resulting word will be awkward as in re-x-rayed or re-emphasize or re-introduce. This is on page 330 of BOS II.
But even though it's in print, your QA may still disagree with you. :) nm

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.

All CP issues aside, I have always been told to not take it upon ourselves to abbreviate unless the dictator abbreviates. I wouldn't "zing" someone for it, but would probably correct it and put a comment.

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:
G2, P2-0-02, or
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?
