Rachael,
Completion of any pregnancy beyond the stage of abortion bestows parity on
the mother; it is the number of pregnancies reaching viability, not the
number of fetuses delivered that determines parity. Parity is no greater
with twins, triplets, quads, etc., nor is it less if a fetus is delivered
stillborn (as long as the stillborn's gestation was beyond the stage of
abortion)
If you want further clarification, check Williams Obstetrics, 20th Edition,
pp 229
Hope this helps,

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA
Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate
learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of
sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing
medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets
these criteria. For further information
see the AMA web site.
