question for OB nurses

I have been out of nursing school for quite some time, and I forgot what the four numbers stand for when you do para/gravida. Does that make sense? Hopefully you can help.

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?

[fergus51]

That's how we do it.

Ditto.

thanks all, that's exactly what I wanted.

Term for us is 37 weeks, not 36.

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
