Need help with GTPAL categorizing

So, my question regards a postpartum patient who is part of an essay I'm writing for school. I'm a bit rusty with GTPAL categorizing, and I would appreciate any feedback. While I was caring for this patient, I read her chart and found out that this a gravida 3 mother. Her first pregnancy ended in abortion/miscarriage at 12 weeks, the second pregnancy resulted in fetal death at 34 weeks, and in her third pregnancy (this one) she delivered a healthy baby at 37 weeks 4 days.

How would that look in GTPAL format?

    What's your answer/guess? Many here like to *help* with homework, but want to see your work first so we can see your train of thought and if/where you're going wrong. Very few will come along and outright answer homework/assignment questions for students.

    Welcome to AN! The largest online nursing community!

    We are happy to help but we need to know what your research has revealed to you. This is pretty straight forward.

    • G - Gravida. This is the number of times a woman has conceived, including any current pregnancy.
    • T - Term births. This is the number of times a woman has carried a pregnancy to at least 37 weeks gestation and delivered.
    • P - Preterm births. This is the number of times a woman has delivered before 37 weeks gestation, but after 20 weeks gestation.
    • A - Abortions. This is the number of times a woman has lost a pregnancy, whether it was elective or spontaneous (miscarriage), before 20 weeks gestation.
    • L - Living children. This term states 'living children,' but what it really is referring to is live births.
