About the Maternal & Child Health Genogram
This maternal and child health genogram organizes family relationships, pregnancy outcomes, and relevant health information across four generational rows, helping care teams review important context in one structured visual.
The example maps both sides of a family. Priya and Ravi appear beneath their maternal and paternal parents. Their family extends to Maya Fernando and Nisha, while Daniel and Maya’s family branch includes Ava, Noah, Liam, Ella, a miscarriage, and a stillbirth. The deceased markers on the maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather keep vital status visible without separating it from the family structure.
Colored rings record the indicators defined in the example legend: hypertension, diabetes, gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, infertility treatment, polycystic ovary syndrome, and heart disease. Because several indicators can appear around one symbol, the example can show co-occurring health information without replacing the standard genogram shapes.
- Maps 13 named people across four generational rows
- Records miscarriage and stillbirth as distinct pregnancy outcomes
- Keeps maternal and paternal family histories in the same view
- Uses a legend to explain seven color-coded health indicators consistently
This example supports structured documentation and discussion; it does not calculate inherited risk or provide a diagnosis. Confirm clinical details, terminology, dates, and sources according to the organization’s approved workflow.
Who Should Use This Example?
This maternal and child health genogram can help healthcare professionals and families organize pregnancy, reproductive-health, and child-health context in one clear view.
Maternal, antenatal, and postnatal care teams
Review pregnancy history, outcomes, conditions, treatment, and family context.
Pediatric and family-health professionals
Connect child-health information with both maternal and paternal family branches.
Nurses and multidisciplinary teams
Create a shared visual for intake, case review, coordination, and follow-up.
Individuals and families
Prepare and update relevant family health information for professional care conversations.
Symbols Used in This Genogram
Use the standard family symbols for structure and the colored indicator rings for health information.
Square
Male family member
Circle
Female family member
X through a symbol
Deceased family member or recorded pregnancy loss, as labeled
Horizontal partner line
Marriage or partner relationship
Vertical descent line
Parent–child or pregnancy connection
Diamond labeled “Miscarriage”
Miscarriage recorded in the pregnancy history
Square labeled “Stillbirth”
Stillbirth recorded in the pregnancy history
Colored ring segment
A health or reproductive-health indicator defined in the legend
When to Use This Example
Use this example when maternal history, pregnancy outcomes, child health, and cross-generational family information need to be reviewed together.
- During maternal, antenatal, postnatal, pediatric, nursing, or family-health intake.
- When collecting a structured pregnancy and reproductive-health history.
- For multidisciplinary case reviews and care-coordination conversations.
- When updating family health information over time while preserving its generational context.
How to Customize This Genogram
- 1
Start with the parent and child household
Add the central parent, partner, children, and current pregnancy information needed for the purpose of the review.
- 2
Extend both sides of the family
Add parents, grandparents, siblings, and other relevant relatives. Confirm each partner and descent connection so the family structure remains unambiguous.
- 3
Record pregnancy outcomes clearly
Use consistent symbols and plain labels for live births, miscarriage, stillbirth, and other relevant outcomes. Add dates or gestational details only when they are known and appropriate to document.
- 4
Add verified health information
Apply the legend consistently and record condition, onset, treatment, source, and review date where relevant. Use notes for context that cannot be communicated safely by a color marker alone.
Creately Clinical Capabilities for This Example
Creately Clinical supports maternal-child health mapping with medical fields, health-focused views, collaborative review, version history, and report-ready outputs.
- Relevant field packs: Base and Medical & Genetic fields for conditions, genetic information, medications, allergies, pregnancy details, and notes.
- Best-fit view mode: Health view for reviewing maternal, child, and wider family indicators together.
- AI support: Generate a starting family structure from intake notes, then verify outcomes and clinical details.
- Collaboration and reporting: Use comments, role-based sharing, auto-save, version history, and PDF or DOCX reports.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I collect first?
Begin with the central household, parent–child relationships, relevant pregnancies, and confirmed outcomes. Then extend the diagram to relatives whose health history adds useful context.
Can one person have more than one health indicator?
Yes. The example uses multiple colored ring segments around a person’s symbol. Keep the legend visible and add supporting notes so each marker remains understandable.
How should miscarriage and stillbirth be represented?
Use the symbols and labels established by the organization or clinical team, and apply them consistently. In this example, miscarriage and stillbirth are shown as separate labeled outcomes connected to the parental line.
How can Creately Clinical support this workflow?
The Medical & Genetic field pack can organize conditions, genetic information, medications, allergies, and related health details. Health-focused views, comments, collaboration, version history, and export options help teams review and update the same structured genogram over time.
