Do ectopic pregnancies count towards the G's and P's count? How about molar pregnancies?

A woman who has had 2 absolutely health pregnacies and deliveries would be designated as G2P2002. If she had 2 ectopic pregnancies as well, would she remain G2P2002 or would she be designated as G4P2022? How about in the case of molar pregnancies.

Gravida is the number of times pregnant so I would say that the ectopics count towards the G number. Note twins counts as only once pregnant.
On to your example. Why do you assume that the ectopic fetuses will be aborted? She could just have easliy be designated G4P2202.
Someone is on their OB-Gyn elective, I see…
Shilolo if you’re reffering to me, I just have access to Google and I’m not afraid to use it.
@Lightly. No, not you, Flavio… Do you mean like this?
@shilolo yeah, pretty much. Nice link by the way.
So what would one miscarriage, one live birth, one ectopic and one adoption be?
Full term ectopic pregnancies are VERY rarely – assuming that an ectopic is aborted would be reasonable.
That’s why I put the ectopics in as pre term deliveries not full term. I actually meant to include them as live children as well but I screwed up.
I’ve heard of (in the hospital I work at) triplets, with two ectopics, and all three babies survived.
G – number of times pregnant
P – number of deliveries full term, pre term, aborted, currently alive. (I think)
So to answer your question @dandydear. G3P1021. (assuming the baby adopted was the live birth and the live birth was full term and the miscariage and the ectopic were seperate) that’s a lot of assumptions, I know
I thought it was correct but the adopted one is seperate from the live birth…
so… G3P1022? That’s me! WoW!
for dandydear,
i would say, assuming ectopics count as a pregnancy, which i am not so convinced (...), also assuming that the live birth was born at term,
G3P1022
and yes…I am on my OB rotation and looking for things to think about to pass the time.
What, they don’t have you photocopying papers for them? I hated my OB rotation, can you tell?
The live birth was AFTER TERM! LOL! 2 weeks late! 9.5 lbs. Now she is a beautiful 18 YO!.
@DandyDear711 You said, “Full term ectopic pregnancies are VERY rarely”—Full term? The fetus is in the fallopian tube. No way could you have a “full term” ectopic pregnancy.
@Val123 – who knows what I was referring to. Maybe I was quoting something or was thinking never say never.
