Guide for use:![]() | A pregnancy resulting in multiple births should be counted as once pregnancy. In multiple pregnancies with more than one type of outcome, the pregnancies should be recorded in the following order:
Where the outcome was one stillbirth and one live birth, count as stillbirth. If a previous pregnancy was a hydatidiform mole, code as spontaneous or induced abortion (or rarely, ectopic pregnancy), depending on the outcome. |

Comments:![]() | The number of previous pregnancies is an important component of the woman's reproductive history. Parity may be a risk factor for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. A previous history of induced abortion may increase the risk of some outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. |
