Hi there
I am a bit confused about these terms- I know I look really stupid from your eyes..but I really am not clear about how to describe correctly.
Am I right in saying Gravida- means total no of fetuses in the tummy, doesnt matter how far they last: Para- means having a live baby out.
For eg if I am pregnant for the 4 th time now, had 2 miscarriages before, and have one 3 yr old kid, then I would be G4 P1
( or G4 P3 ???)
Thanks in advance
