I to learned in nursing school the way you are using, G2P5 for multiples as

well. But the above IS the correct method. At our facility we use the GP

but also abortions/miscarriages, preterm, term etc. I have now seen in the

literature a move to include adoptions! Wouldn't that be something!

We always used for example G3P2014: 3 pregnancies, 2 times of delivering, zero

preterm, one AB but 4 living. In this example she had a singleton, term

triplets and a miscarriage. (or 2 sets of term twins)
