Gravida/Para Notations G T P A L Exam | Questions And Answers Latest
{2024- 2025} A+ Graded | 100% Verified
Gravida (G) - Describes the total number of pregnancies (including the current one) that a woman has
experienced in her lifetime.
Para (P) - -Parity is the total number of pregnancies that have progressed beyond 20 weeks gestation in
a woman's lifetime.
-Parity is about the uterus being empty; it is not about the number of babies born (in the situation of
mutlifetal deliveries [twins, triplets], parity is still a single event).
Term (T) - -Communicates what happened during pregnancy
Abortions (A) - Elective or spontaneous delivery before 20 completed gestational weeks completed
Living (L) - Living children
EXAMPLE G/TPAL - G5 P1123 =
G-total of 5 pregnancies
P1-one delivery at 38 weeks
1-on preterm delivery
2-2 abortions
3-3 living children (1 set of twins)
If we list it as G5P3 - this is incomplete because there are 2 events unaccounted for, we are left
wondering what happened.
