Gravida is the medical term meaning the number of pregnancies a woman has had.
The total fertility rate describes the average number of children a woman has in her lifetime.
Discrete. You can't have 1.5 pregnancies. Or anything between 1 or 2. If you have had 1, your next is 2.
Para on its own -- not as a prefix -- means the number of live children a woman bore. (Gravida refers to number of pregnancies). So a woman who had two pregnancies and three children (a set of twins) is Gravida 2 Para 3.
Para refers to the number if live births a woman has had, gravida refers to the number of pregnancies regardless of the outcome. * * * * * No. Para refers to the number of pregnancies resulting in a birth or births after 20 weeks. Multiple pregnancies still count as 1. Also, the birth can be live, viable or a still birth.
This means that this particular woman is currently in her second pregnancy and that the previous pregnancy was either spontaneously or electively aborted. There is an acronym to help understand this... GTPAL. G - The number of times the woman has been pregnant, including current pregnancy. T - The number of pregnancies ending >37 weeks gestation, or full term pregnancies. P - The number of preterm pregnancies ending >20 weeks but <37 weeks. A - The number of pregnancies ending before 20 weeks (viability), either electively or spontaneously. L - The number of children who were born alive or living. So, in the example G2 Para 0010, the woman is in her second pregnancy, she has had no full term pregnancies, no pregnancies that reached the stage of viability (20 weeks), she did have a pregnancy that was either electively or spontaneously aborted before 20 weeks, and she has no children.
Gravida-para `Gravida/para` status is medical shorthand for a woman's obstetric history. Gravida indicates the total number of pregnancies a woman has had, regardless of whether they were carried to term. Para indicates the number of viable(>20 wks)births. Note: pregnancies consisting of multiples, such as twins or triplets, count as ONE birth Therefore, a woman who has had two pregnancies (both of which resulted in live births) would be noted as G2P2.So the answer to that question is grav. 5, para 2.
No,it is physically impossible to determine the number of pregnancies or abortions a woman has had through any scientific test.

Gravida refers to the number of pregnancies a person has had (including the current one), and para refers to the number of live births. To write it out in a health history, you would record the number of total pregnancies and the number of live births. For example, if a woman is pregnant for the third time and has two living children, you would write it as "gravida 3, para 2."
For many woman it does, it did for me, but not in all of my pregnancies.
