Definitions of Pregnancy Terms
- Nulligravida: Refers to a woman who has never been pregnant.
- Nullipara: Describes a woman who has never given birth after 20 weeks of gestation.
- Primigravida: Indicates a woman who is experiencing her first pregnancy.
- Primipara: A woman who has given birth once; often referenced in contexts involving her first child, such as visits to a healthcare provider.
Common Terminology Clarifications
- Primip: Informally refers to a woman's first labor, although it is often misused. Important for exams to understand its proper context.
Gravid-Para (GP) System
- Truncated GP System:
- G: Total number of pregnancies
- P: Total number of births
GTPAL System Breakdown
- GTPAL:
- G: Total number of pregnancies
- T: Number of term pregnancies (37 weeks or greater)
- P: Number of preterm births (between 20 and 36.6 weeks)
- A: Number of abortions (spontaneous or induced) up to 19.6 weeks
- L: Number of living children
Classification Examples
- Stillbirth at 20 weeks: Classified under preterm (P).
- Stillbirth at 41 weeks: Classified as a term birth (T).
- IUFD (Intrauterine fetal demise) at 19 weeks: Classified as an abortion (A).
- Live birth at 36.6 weeks: Classified as preterm (P).
- Live birth at 42.1 weeks: Classified as term (T).
GTPAL Values Examples
- First pregnancy: GTPAL notation is G1P0000.
- 5th pregnancy with specific outcomes: One miscarriage at 14 weeks, one stillbirth at 23 weeks, and two births greater than 37 weeks results in GTPAL notation G5P2112.
GP Values Examples
- 5th pregnancy outcomes: Same as above, yielding GP notation G5P3, representing the total pregnancies and births.
