23-year old white female, gravida 6, para 2, ab 4?

I don't blame him for saying that, I probably wouldn't have been so nice!

There should be mandatory sterilization in cases like that.

I'm gravida 0 and I have a dumb ?
If you are 9 mos. pregnant and in the hospital for induction, on abdominal exam, can your abdomen actually be *soft*?

I have felt pg bellies, and they are not soft. Why do they always say this? It doesn't make sense to me, but then I have no personal experience with it.

Yep - nearly always start their para's w/ capped heading of procedure to be described.

Gravida means total pregnancies. You can't have a miscarriage, birth or AB
unless you were pregnant, thus para 0 on gravida 0 is redundant.
