    Calculation

    You are admitting a pregnant female patient. She tells you she has 2 children: both were single births. Her oldest was born at 39 weeks and her youngest was born at 30 weeks. She had 2 miscarriages between her oldest and youngest. One at 12 weeks and the other at 8 weeks. What is her GP?

    Explanation & Rationale

    G (Gravida) refers to the total number of pregnancies, including the current one, regardless of outcome. In this case, she has had two previous live births, two miscarriages, and is currently pregnant, totaling 5 pregnancies. P (Para) counts pregnancies that reached 20 weeks gestation or more, regardless of whether the infant was born alive or stillborn. Here, one child was born at 39 weeks and one at 30 weeks, so she has had 2 pregnancies reaching viability. Miscarriages before 20 weeks are not included in para.
