What is G3P1010 in pregnancy?

G3P1010 is a shorthand notation used in obstetrics to describe a woman's pregnancy history. In this notation, "G" stands for "gravida," indicating the number of times a woman has been pregnant (3 in this case), while "P" stands for "para," which details the outcomes of those pregnancies. The numbers following "P" represent live births, preterm births, and other outcomes (i.e., 1 live birth, 0 preterm births, 1 miscarriage or stillbirth). Therefore, G3P1010 means the woman has been pregnant three times, with one live birth and one pregnancy loss.
