GTPAL stands for Gravida, Term, Preterm, Abortions, Living, and is a system used to record a woman’s pregnancy history.
- G: 1 T: 0 P: 0 A: 0 L: 0
- G: 2 T: 0 P: 1 A: 1 L: 0
- G: 3 T: 1 P: 1 A: 0 L: 2
- G: 2 T: 1 P: 0 A: 0 L: 2
- G: 3 T: 0 P: 2 A: 1 L: 2
- G: 5 T: 4 P: 0 A: 1 L: 4
- G: 6 T: 2 P: 1 A: 1 L: 3
- G: 2 T: 1 P: 0 A: 1 L: 1
Each case is recorded with the following: Gravida, Term (numbers of pregnancy delivered after 37 weeks or longer), Preterm (numbers of pregnancy delivered before 36 weeks and between 6/7 and 20 weeks), Abortions, (numbers of miscarriages occurring prior to 20 weeks), Living (numbers of living children) and Abortions. This is because the pregnancy was not viable.
