Problem no 6
A lady at 32 weeks of
pregnancy has 3 kids, a pair of twins of 4 years age and one of age 7. What is
the parity index.
Solution 6: G3P2L3A0
The lady has three kids.
A pair of twin are the outcome of single pregnancy. A child elder to those
makes another pregnancy. She is pregnant now. All this adds up to make her
gravidity THREE. Two pregancies outcome was full term viable kids. Since Twin
make only ONE in parity index. The net parity is TWO. However, there are 3
living kids.
Problem no 7
32 years lady has a 5
years child which she conceived after great efforts after having two
unsuccessful pregnancies. One terminated at 13 weeks of gestation following
inevitable abortion and another was a still birth. She thought she is currently
pregnant but USG showed snow storm appearance in the uterus most probably
hyaditiform mole. What is her parity index.
Solution 7: G4P2L1A1
She had one abortion,
one still birth, one live birth and currently a H Mole. So her garvidity is 4
because garvidity is number of times a lady has conceived irrespective of the
outcome, no matter whether it is alive, dead, ectopic or molar preganancy. She
has a 5 years kid and one was a still birth. Still birth are those fetuses
delivered after they have completed the period of viability. So her parity is
two. Only one child is alive currently. She also had one spontaneous inevitable
abortion at 13 weeks means it has not reached viability.
Problem no 8
A Lady with blood group
B negative and sub-clinical hypothyroidism delivered a normal baby
in 2007. She was again pregnant in 2009 however it terminated early, again in
2010 there was another episode of abortion. In 2013, there was no complication
in the early pregnancy but later the child developed erythroblastosis fetalis
at 32 weeks of gestation and the pregnancy was terminated with a cesarean section.
However the child could not survive. With such a bad obstetrics history, she
has again conceived. What is her parity index.
Solution 8: G5P2L1A2
She had a normal pregnancy
in 2007, two pregnancies at 2009 and 2010, one cesarean at 2013 and is still
pregnant. So her garvidity is 5. Since, only two fetuses were delivered, one
normally and one following cesarean delivery at 32 weeks (Viable fetus), the
parity is two. The child delivered via cesarean could not make it to life
because of erythroblastosis fetalis, so only the first child is living. She had
two ill fated pregnancies that could not make to age of viability and hence the
abortion is two.
Problem no 9
A mother of two children
had underwent medical termination of pregnancy at 10 weeks of gestation as she
had conceived unplanned. She lost both her kids in a major disaster
when they were just 4 and 6 years of age. She is again pregnant and luckily she
has conceived two fetuses. What is her parity index
Solution 9: G4P2L0A1
The first child were 4
and 6 at the time of disaster. She had one MTP. She is currently pregnant. So,
she is 4 gravida. The twins are the product of single conception, so it is counted
as 1. She delivered two viable fetus who lived a happy life of 4 and 6. So, the
parity is 2. But, since the tragedy happened and they no longer exist the
number of living child is zero. Her unplanned pregnancy she terminated at 10 weeks accounts for 1 abortion.
Problem 10
My grandmother had 15
children of which there were three sets of twin deliveries. Total of 7 uncle
and 8 aunt are alive today. She had 2 kids who died within 3 days of birth of
which one of the kid was from a twin delivery and 3 episodes of abortions in
early stages. What was her parity index when she was pregnant with my youngest
uncle.
Solution 10: ??G15P12L14A3??
This is a very long and time consuming process to describe. May be I shall leave it to the reader to calculate my grand mothers parity index because I do not have enough vigor left to think and calculate after writing this 3 pages long article. In case if you happen to calculate the index please mention it in the comment below for our other viewers and if possible with explanation as well.

The most important point I want to discuss here is that if I had
asked what is the parity index of my grand mother currently, we cannot mention
her GRAVID because she is not pregnant currently. So her parity index would have started from PxLyAz.One can not be labelled Gravid until and unless she is pregnant. NEVER EVER FORGET THIS POINT.
In case you have found any flaw or mistake please kindly comment. Thank you.
