She has had four pregnancies, including the current one (gravida 4). She had two pregnancies that terminated after 20 weeks (para 2). The pregnancy that terminated at 8 weeks is classi-fied as an abortion.
Because she is currently pregnant, she is classified as a gravida 4.
Gravida 4 is correct, but she is para 2; the pregnancy that was terminated at 8 weeks is clas-sified as an abortion.
Since she is currently pregnant, she would be classified as a gravida 4, not 3; the para is cor-rect.
