Gravida represents what?

Explanation:
Gravidity represents the total number of pregnancies a person has had, including the current one. It doesn’t reflect how many births occurred, how many deliveries happened, or how many living children there are. Those details are captured separately in parity and its components (term, preterm, abortions, living). For example, if a woman has had two previous pregnancies that ended in live births and is now pregnant, her gravidity is 3.
