Gravida/para
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gravida/para status is medical shorthand for a woman's obstetric history. Gravida indicates the total number of pregnancies a woman has had, regardless of whether they were carried to term. Para indicates the number of viable(>20 wks)births. Note: multiple pregnancies count as ONE birth.

Therefore, a woman who has had two pregnancies (both of which resulted in live births) would be noted as G2P2. A woman who had 4 pregnancies, one of which was miscarried, would be noted as G4P3. A woman who had one pregnancy and delivered twins would be noted G1P1002
Information about the number of miscarriages, preterm births, and living children may also be included in this notation by including 4 separate numbers after the "P", as in G4P3113. This indicates 4 pregnancies, with 3 live births, 1 preterm birth, 1 therapeutic abortion or miscarriage, and 3 living children. See Gravida/para/abortus for more detail.
