GIII-PI-CI-AO

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Obstetrics
This series of abbreviations appears in the medical record of a pregnant woman. I know GIII stands for "tertigravida" (third pregnancy) and the abbreviations are followed by more medical background information, such as last menstrual period and information about previous births.

Selected

3 pregnancies, 1 delivery, 1 C section, 0 abortions

I took this from a glossary prepared by Michael Blumenthal for a seminar on Translation of the physical examination

"GV PIV AI CII translates into five gestaciones, gravida, pregnancies; four
partos, para, deliveries or births; one aborto abortion; and two cesáreas
cesarean sections | CS. The numbers may be written in either Arabic or
Roman numerals and periods may be used after the letters"

I guess the difference comes from miscarriages

I don't know if you use the respective abbreviations in English and while checking, I found this:

Thanks, nice to see you, too
agree Dr Jane Marshall : The difference between the gravida and para+cesaerian is because she is pregnant right now, so has´t had that baby/delivery yet. I am not sure if "A" includes spontaneous abortion/miscarriage. Do you know? (for interest)
