Role Play #2

Aim: To discuss the issues of dietary restrictions during pregnancy

Diana is a 26 year old (gravida 2, para 1) who is 22 weeks gestation. She and her partner Dave live on a rural section outside Nelson. They have an organic farm where they produce a selection of produce for themselves and as a way of generating some income. Diana is restrictive in what she consumes - she and Dave both follow a vegetarian diet and do not consume dairy products. Diana has recently been advised by a family member that it is important to eliminate common food allergens from your diet when pregnant to reduce the chance of your baby developing food allergies. her midwife Rosalind is a relatively 'new' midwife having been in practice only 2 years.

Okay, disclaimer here... I KNOW this has nothing to do with anything.
But, I have spent the entire day muttering to myself about this (don't ask my husband he tried to peeve me by saying perhaps she had a c/s with her first child and it isn't counted as parawhatever.... he will pay for that comment later).
Anyway.
G2 P0? I thought that Dave said they had a little one already? Peter?
Okay, nothing to do with this as a whole... just don't want to give my husband more to annoy me with. I figured I'd ask the experts.

You are so right. Should be G2P1.
Two pregnancies, One child.
Hope you managed to smell the roses today even though you had a day of muttering!
