A woman's obstetric history indicates that she is pregnant for the fourth time and all of her children from previous pregnancies are living. One was born at 39 weeks of gestation, another child was born at 40 weeks of gestation, and the last child was born at 36.2 weeks of gestation. What is her gravidity and parity using the GTPAL system?

Select one:

4-2-1-0-3

4-1-1-1-3

4-1-2-0-3

4-3-0-0-3

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

a. In this case, the woman is pregnant for the fourth time, so her gravidity is 4.

She has one child born at 39 weeks, another child born at 40 weeks, and one child born at 36.2 weeks. The first two are considered term births, and the last one is considered a preterm birth. Therefore, her term is 1 and her preterm is 2. She has no abortions, so her abortion is 0. She has three living children, so her living children is 3. Hence, her GTPAL is 4-2-1-0-3.
b.   This indicates 1 full-term pregnancy, 1 preterm pregnancy, and 3 living child.

c.   This would indicate 1 full-term pregnancy, 2 preterm pregnancies, and 3 living children.
d.   4-3-0-0-3: This would indicate 3 full-term pregnancies and 3 living children.
