A pregnant woman has delivered premature twins and one full-term baby. What GTPAL should be documented?

Gravida, term, preterm, abortions, living describe the counts of pregnancies and outcomes a woman has had. In this scenario, she is currently pregnant and has already delivered two pregnancies: one that produced premature twins and another that produced a full‑term baby. That means three pregnancies total. Only one of those pregnancies resulted in a term birth, since the current pregnancy hasn’t delivered yet. The premature twins count as two preterm births because two babies were born before term. There were no abortions. All babies born so far are living, so three living children. So the documented sequence is: three pregnancies, one term birth, two preterm births, zero abortions, three living children.
