• A. G2P2
• B. G2P3
• C. G2P1
• D. G2P0

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In obstetrics, the terms "gravida" and "para" are used to describe a woman’s obstetrical history.

Gravida (G): Refers to the number of times a woman has been pregnant, regardless of the outcome.

Para (P): Refers to the number of pregnancies carried to a viable gestational age (usually around 24 weeks in most healthcare systems), regardless of whether the offspring were born alive or stillborn.

Solution: We need to determine the gravida and para status of the woman in the given scenario:

• She is currently pregnant, which counts as 1 pregnancy (G = 1).
• She had a history of twin pregnancy 1 year ago, which counts as 1 pregnancy. Irrespective of the number of children born, it counts as one para if the pregnancy reached a viable gestational age. (G = 1, P = 1)

Adding the current pregnancy to her previous history gives:

• Gravida: 2 total pregnancies (current pregnancy + previous twin pregnancy)
• Para: 1 previous pregnancy carried to viable gestational age (the twin pregnancy)

Thus, her obstetric history can be summarized as:

G2P1

The correct option is: G2P1
