Saw P/A written on my report and the doc just glanced and moved on. Forgot to ask matlab what it stands for. Anyone knows what this term means in pregnancy checkups? Just curious.
P/A stands for 'Per Abdomen' in your medical files [1.2.1]. It simply means the doctor examined your belly by feeling it to check the baby's position and uterus size. It's a standard checkup notation, so don't overthink it.
In my experience, P/A is just medical shorthand for 'per abdomen'. It basically means the doctor did a physical check by feeling your tummy to see how the uterus is growing. It's a routine part of your prenatal checkups, so nothing to worry about!
Oh, I saw 'P/A' on my prescription yesterday and got so confused! My gynac said it means 'per abdomen' checkup, but I was still thoda worried. Did any other first-time moms get confused by these clinical terms too?
I know how even a tiny unknown term like 'P/A' can make you worry so much, especially if you've faced difficult times before. It just stands for 'per abdomen', which is a simple physical touch-check of your tummy. Always ask your gynac to explain everything on your files so you can stay calm and relaxed.
P/A stands for 'per abdomen' in obstetric notes. My doctor explained that during an antenatal exam, they palpate the abdomen to check the fundal height (uterus size) and baby's lie, and write 'P/A' followed by their findings. It's standard medical shorthand used everywhere.
It's just 'per abdomen' where they feel your tummy to check how the baby is placed. Since my doctor allowed me to do gentle prenatal yoga and walking, these physical checks always show my belly is nice and relaxed. Make sure to stay active only as much as your doc suggests!
I totally understand how confusing all these medical terms on your prescription can be, dear! 'P/A' just means 'per abdomen', which is when the doctor feels your tummy to check the baby's position and growth. It's so amazing to think about the doctor touching where your sweet little baby is growing!
It stands for 'per abdomen', which just means the doctor checked your tummy during the scan or checkup. Try not to stress about these short forms, everything is fine.
When I first saw 'P/A' written on my card, I felt so anxious and immediately googled it! My doctor later explained it just means 'per abdomen', which is when they examine your tummy with their hands. I felt such a relief after knowing it's just a routine check.
Arey, P/A is just 'per abdomen'. Whenever you go for a checkup, the doctor feels your belly to see the baby's position and writes this down. It's a completely normal shorthand, no need to get tense.
