They refer to gravida and parity.

Gravida refers to how many times a person has been pregnant, parity to how many babies they have had

I.e. if you have had two children and are pregnant with your your third, you would be gravida 3 para 2 or G3 P2

6th baby Gravida 6 para 5

etc... does that make sense? hth?

G is Gravida.. This is the number of pregnancies a woman has had..
P is Para.. This is the number of babies a woman has..

So G3 P2.. 3rd pregnancy.. 2 babies..

It gets confusing with twins and miscarriages..

G4 P1+2 - 4th pregnancy, 1 live baby, 2 miscarriages..

G3 P6 - 3rd pregnancy, 2 previous set of triplets...

P1 and G0 means it is the first time the lady has been pregnant, so P1 ...first pregnancy, G0 means she hasn't had registerable birth before (after 28 weeks of pregnancy I think it is)

So, P7 and G6 means this lady is pregant for the 7th time, and she has had 6 live registerable birth's previously.

Hope that makes a bit of sense, took me a while to get my head around it lol.

Sorry I am still quite confused by this what if the lady has had 3 pregnancies and one resulted in a stillbirth or neonatal death?
Would it be written as G3 P2?? Also what does multips than primips mean?

I think its G3 P2+1.. But I could be wrong as this confuses me also.. I think is depends on the gestation of the baby... (Soon to be 3rd year I should really know this :S)

Primp is a lady thats pregnant for the first time
Multip is a lady pregnant with subsequent pregnancys..
