Gravida, Para...

I don't know if they make sense or not, but I didn't make them up. This is a critical thinking exercise in my textbook.
This is the question I was given in my textbook:
The following phrases and styles are common in OB/GYN dictation. Describe what each phrase below means, including the numbers.
G4, P2, Ab1 gravida 3, para 1-2-1-3 gravida 1, para 0-2-0-2

I see now.....to the best that I know.

G4 P2 Ab1...this patient has had 4 pregnancies, 2 live births, and 1 abortion(induced or natural/miscarriage) now you are missing one pregnancy which probably means this patient is pregnant.

G3 P 1-2-1-3 this patient has had 3 pregnancies, 1 full term birth, 2 premie twins, 1 Ab/miscarriage, 3 living children.

G1 P 0-2-2 this patient has had 1 pregnancy, 0 full term births, 2 premies (twins), 0Ab/miscarriages, 2 living children

G3 P 1-2-1-3 this patient has had 3 pregnancies, 1 full term birth, 2 premie twins, 1 Ab/miscarriage, 3 living children.
G1 P 0-2-2 this patient has had 1 pregnancy, 0 full term births, 2 premies (twins), 0Ab/miscarriages, 2 living children

But again, those two are incorrect because the twins would be 1, not 2, in both of those examples
