fergus51 · Oct 25, 2002

Are you talking about GTPAL? If so...

G Gravida: total number of pregnancies including the present one

T pregnancies that went to TERM

P pregnancies that delivered Preterm

A Abortions or miscarriages

L living children.

Term would be 36 weeks right? and stillborns under P?

36 vs 37weeks..obviously an issue similar to the great daylight savings debate...

I missed the term part. Term for us is 37 weeks, unless of course, NICU is short-staffed :rolleyes:
