Do twins count as one birth or two?
If you’re carrying two babies, they are called twins. Three babies that are carried during one pregnancy are called triplets. You can also carry more than three babies at one time (high-order multiples). There are typically more risks linked to a multiple pregnancy than a singleton (carrying only one baby) pregnancy.

Would a woman with twins be a g1p2 or G2 P1?
A woman whose first pregnancy was twins would not be a G1P2 right, it would not make sense. So if you just went off of Gravity/Parity alone, she would be a G2 P1 because Parity is how many pregnancies were carried beyond 20 wks like a previous poster said. The long way is definitely more accurate in these situations!
What does G1 P2 mean in obstetrics?

What does g1p2 gravida mean?
( or G4 P3???) Gravida is the # of times pregnant, para is the outcome.

G 1 P 2 1 0 2 had twins, one premature.
