    • Term: A pregnancy from 37 to 40 +6 days gestation.
    • Late Term: A pregnancy in the 41st week.
    • Postterm (postdate): A pregnancy after 42 weeks.
    • Viability: The ability of the baby to live outside of the uterus, usually at 22-25 weeks

    GTPAL: Assessing Past Pregnancies

    • G: Gravidity (total pregnancies, including current)
    • T: Term births (37 to 40 +6 days)
    • P: Preterm births (20 to 36+6 weeks)
    • A: Aborted pregnancies (before 20 weeks)
    • L: Living children

    Examples of GTPAL Use

    • Example 1: A woman pregnant for the third time, with two previous term pregnancies, no preterm or aborted pregnancies, and two living children. GTPAL = 3-2-0-0-2
    • Example 2: A patient who is 30 weeks pregnant, has had one previous abortion, one miscarriage, and two live children born by Cesarean section at 38 weeks. GTPAL = 3-0-2-1-2

    Confirmation of Pregnancy

    • Based on signs and symptoms reported during history or physical examination
    • Classified as presumptive, probable, or positive
      • Presumptive: subjective changes reported by the client

    • Presumptive signs: Amenorrhea, fatigue, breast changes, nausea & vomiting, urinary frequency
    • Probable signs: Hegar sign, Chadwick sign, Goodell sign, positive pregnancy test, Braxton Hicks or prelabour contractions, ballottement
    • Positive signs: Visualizing the fetus by ultrasound, fetal heart tones by ultrasound, visualization of the fetus by Doppler or fetal stethoscope, fetal movements palpated, fetal movements visible

    Hegar, Chadwick & Goodell Signs

    • Hegar sign: Compressibility and softening of the cervical isthmus (portion of cervix between uterus and vaginal portion) around 6 to 12 weeks.
    • Chadwick sign: Violet/bluish colour of vaginal mucosa and cervix as early as the sixth week due to increased vascularity.
    • Goodell sign: Softening of the cervix around 6 to 8 weeks of gestation.

    Estimating Date of Birth (EDB)

    • Accurate dating is important for healthy outcomes
    • Ultrasound in the first trimester is the gold standard for dating
    • Nägele's Rule: Determine the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP), subtract 3 months, add 7 days, and add 1 year.
