French term

V G II P

French to English Medical Medical (general) Gynécologie
Bonjour,

Il s'agit des antécédents gynécologiques:

"elle est V G II P. Deux accouchements par voie basse en 1994, un AVB un garçon de 3700g. 1996, une fille de 3800."

Je n'ai pas d'idée de ce à quoi fait référence le "V G II P". C'est une faute de frappe ou bien ?

Gravidity in humans
In human medicine, "gravidity" refers to the number of times a woman has been pregnant,[1] regardless of whether the pregnancies were interrupted or resulted in a live birth:

The term "gravida" can be used to refer to a pregnant woman.
A "nulligravida" is a woman who has never been pregnant.
A "primigravida" is a woman who is pregnant for the first time or has been pregnant once.
A "multigravida" or "secundigravida" is a woman who has been pregnant more than once.
Terms such as "gravida 0", referring to a nulligravida, "gravida 1" for a primigravida, and so on, can also be used. The term "elderly primigravida" has also been used to refer to a woman in their first pregnancy who is at least 35 years old.[4] Advanced maternal age can be a risk factor for some birth defects.

Parity
In human medicine, parity is the number of pregnancies carried by a woman for at least 20 weeks (duration varies from region to region, 20 – 28 weeks, depending upon age of viability). If a woman carries the fetus to viable age, even if ultimately the fetus is born deceased, this still counts as an instance of parity, as parity is based on the time of gestation prior to a birth, and not the status of the offspring once born. [6] [7]

A woman who has never carried a pregnancy beyond 20 weeks is nulliparous and is called a nullipara or para 0.[8] A woman who has given birth once is primiparous and is referred to as a primipara or primip. A woman who has given birth two, three, or four times is multiparous and is called a multip. Grand multipara describes the condition of having given birth five or more times.[9]

Like gravidity, parity may also be counted. A woman who has given birth one or more times can also be referred to as para 1, para 2, para 3, and so on.

Viable gestational age varies from region to region.

G = Gravidity P = parity

I'm pretty confident that G = gravidity (meaning, the number of pregnancies) and P = parity (number of viable births)
V I believe stands for 5x and II for 2x
Normally though, it would be written as G V P II.
