A "multigravida" or "secundigravida" is a woman who has been pregnant more than once.
To put it simply: Gravidity (gravida) is the number of times a patient has been pregnant. This includes a current pregnancy. Parity (para) is the number of times a patient has given birth to a viable child.
Para OR Parity is the number of completed pregnancies beyond 20 weeks gestation (whether viable or nonviable). The number of fetuses delivered does not determine the parity. A woman who has been pregnant once and delivered twins after 20 weeks would be noted to be a Gravid 1 Para 1.
Gravida is the number of pregnancies a woman has had. A multiple gestation counts as a single pregnancy. Para is the number of completed pregnancies beyond 20 weeks gestation (whether viable or nonviable).
Previous studies indicate that nulliparous women (i.e., women having no previous births) are at higher risk for adverse birth outcomes than multiparous women (i.e., women having had at least one previous birth).
The term "gravida" can be used to refer to a pregnant woman. A "nulligravida" is a woman who has never been pregnant. A "primigravida" is a woman who is pregnant for the first time or has been pregnant once. A "multigravida" or "secundigravida" is a woman who has been pregnant more than once.
A multigravida has been pregnant more than once. A multiparous woman (multip) has given birth more than once.
The term primiparous pertains to a female that delivered an offspring at one time. It is used in contrast with other females that have not yet given birth (nulliparous) and with those that have more than once (multiparous). Word origin: Latin prīmus (first) + pariō (I give birth).
We're not counting the number of babies BUT just the pregnancy itself. Therefore, if the woman is pregnant with twins, triplets, quadruplets etc., the gravida is just ONE.
Prepartum, postpartum (before and after delivery), dystocia (difficult delivery) EXAMPLE: On an OB patient's chart you may see the abbreviations: gravida 3, para 2. This means three pregnancies, two live births. The OB patient, currently pregnant with her third baby, will become a Gravida 3, Para 3 after giving birth.
® G3P1011-a woman who is currently pregnant, had one full term delivery and one abortion or. miscarriage and one living child.
In contrast, an individual described as 'gravida 2, para 1' (G2 P1) has had two pregnancies or is still currently pregnant, but only one survived to a gestational age of 20 weeks or more. Therefore, the abbreviation gravida and para are frequently used, providing the number of pregnancies and deliveries after 20 weeks.
Spontaneous abortion (SAB) may be diagnosed incidentally on ultrasound or may present with amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding, and/or pelvic pain. A pregnancy test should performed on all women of childbearing age who present with vaginal bleeding.
Gravida and para are medical terms that relate to pregnancy and birth. Gravida or gravidity describes the total number of confirmed pregnancies that a female has had, regardless of the outcome. Para or parity is defined as the number of births that a female has had after 20 weeks gestation.
Multipara refers to a woman who has had two or more viable pregnancies. This term is used regardless of whether the infant is born alive. The pregnancy must last at least 20 weeks for it to be considered a viable pregnancy. Primipara describes a woman who has had one viable pregnancy.

A reasonable definition of "grand multiparity" is a patient who has had ≥5 births (live or stillborn) at ≥20 weeks of gestation, with "great grand multiparity" defined as ≥10 births (live or stillborn) ≥20 weeks of gestation [2]. However, other definitions are also used.
Quickening is when a pregnant person starts to feel their baby's movement in their uterus (womb). It feels like flutters, bubbles or tiny pulses. Quickening happens around 16 to 20 weeks in pregnancy, but some people may feel it sooner or later.
Nulligravida means the number of pregnancies of a client is zero. Primigravida means it's the client's first pregnancy. Multigravida means the client has been pregnant more than once.
