"para 3, plus 0, live 3" Anyone know what the "plus" means? Even QA is stumped. - monkeybutt

no births were unborn - sm

It means she has been pregnant 3 times and all 3 were live births...the plus 0 just means she had no pregnancies that were not live births.
So say para 4, plus 1, live 3 would equal 4 pregnancies, 1 unborn (miscarriage, etc.) and 3 live births.
Thank you! That makes sense. That phrase is not in the refs & Google was no help. - monkeybutt
