Erin, a mother of three children, is pregnant at 3 weeks’ gestation. She had an elective abortion at 12 weeks’ gestation, a daughter who was born at 41 weeks’ gestation, and a set of twins who were born at 36 weeks’ gestation. What is Erin’s GTPAL?
Explanation
Answer: D - Erin has a GTPAL of 4, 1, 1, 1, 3. Erin has a total of four pregnancies, including the current pregnancy, which gives a gravidity of 4. She has a daughter who was born at 41 weeks’ gestation, which is a term birth. The twins were born at 36 weeks’ gestation, which is a pre-term birth. Although she gave birth to two infants, the birth is considered as one. She had a miscarriage at 12 weeks’ gestation. The current pregnancy is not included in the parity because it has not yet reached 20 weeks’ gestation. Erin has three living children.
