A woman who is pregnant for the first time is referred to as a primigravida or '''gravida 1'''. A woman who has been pregnant some other number of times is referred to as '''gravida 2''' (also '''secundigravida'''), '''gravida 3''', and so on. Gravida is generally grouped with the term Para for the number of viable offspring, and sometimes the addition of ''' Abortus ''' to indicate the number of abortions. Combined, the GPA gives a quick overview of a female's obstetric history. G3, P2, A1 would indicate three pregnancies, two live births, and one abortion (abortions may refer to Abortion s or Spontaneous Abortion s).
