## Post #1 by @Sam

There are two things here \- keeping tabs on all recordings made while a person was/is pregnant \- keeping clinical track of the fact that the person is pregnant\.

My proposal is to have an archetype for pregnancy \- it will obviously vary a little \(specialisation\) from place to place but there are some consistent data that can be collected for all\.

The traditional manner of keeping key information about a pregnancy is here and there \- throughout the EHR\. The advantage of using 'persistence' for this data is that it is clear that a person has been pregnant x times \(how many pregnany EVALUATIONs are in the EHR\) are they pregnant now?, are they breast feeding \- only one place to look\!

This will not have all the information \- not the exams, symptoms\.\.\.\.fetal heart measurements \- just the persistant data \- EDD, LMP, number of offspring, birthweight\(s\), names, date of delivery, means of delivery, place of delivery\.

It is different than we are used to \- but could look like it is done now through the GUI\.
