This could also be written as 1-1-1-3. The term GTPAL is used when the TPAL is prefixed with gravidity, and GTPALM when GTPAL is followed by number of multiple pregnancies.

[1] [7] [60] [123] A 2012 review found the risk of miscarriage between 5 and 20 weeks from 11% to 22%. [157] Up to the 13th week of pregnancy, the risk of miscarriage each week was around 2%, dropping to 1% in week 14 and reducing slowly between 14 and 20 weeks. [157]
An ultrasound showing an embryo measured to have a crown-rump length of 1.67 cm and estimated to have a gestational age of 8 weeks and 1 day. Crown-rump length (CRL) is the measurement of the length of human embryos and fetuses from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the buttocks (rump).
Fetus at 10 weeks. Embryo measures 30–80 mm (1.2–3.1 in) in length. Ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds fuse during the 8th week; Intestines rotate. Facial features continue to develop. The eyelids are more developed. The external features of the ear begin to take their final shape. The head comprises nearly half of the fetus' size.
Gestation is the period of development during the carrying of an embryo, and later fetus, inside viviparous animals (the embryo develops within the parent). [1] It is typical for mammals, but also occurs for some non-mammals. Mammals during pregnancy can have one or more gestations at the same time, for example in a multiple birth. [2]
