Maternity Record Capital T under Previous Labours
« on: Sunday 07 January 18 12:31 GMT (UK) »
Wasn't quite sure where to put this. I have the maternity records for my great grandmother (giving birth to my grandfather) and just had one question. There is a heading "previous Labours" split into two columns, one sub headed "Mature", the other "Premature". In the Mature column, someone has written a capital T. Does anyone know what the T stands for?

Thank you

Photo added. Unfortunately I don't have any record of any other children for her thus far. These records are from the Birkenhead area  :)

I wondered that. Just thought that if its written in the mature column then it being bought to term would be implied (otherwise it would be premature, if you see what I mean), I may have a totally incorrect understanding of  exactly what "to term" means though.

As a midwife
I'd read that as Term, still recorded that way today by some. Probably means she was 40 weeks (any from 37 weeks would be in that column)

Term should be between 37 and 42 weeks, but some take T=40 weeks exactly (so you see IOL at T+10 - induction of labour at 41 weeks and 3 days)

Let me know if you want any other midwifery style translation
