G stands for Gravidity which refers to the total number of all pregnancies, whether normal or abnormal and irrespective of their outcomes. P stands for Parity which is the state of having given birth to an infant(s) after it has attained viability whether dead or alive (gestational age of viability varies between different countries depending on resources to cater for a baby born that preterm and it ranges from 20-28 weeks gestation). The numbers you see with hyphens are according to the TPAL system. The TPAL term is a system used to describe obstetrical history. T — term births P — preterm births (prior to 37 weeks gestation) A — abortions L — living children So from your question, The woman has had 2 pregnancies, 1 term births, 1 delivery prior to 37 weeks gestation (preterm), 0 pregnancies ending in spontaneous or induced abortions, and 2 living children. Hope this helped!
