Nullipara is defined as what?

• A. Woman who has never given birth
• B. Woman who has current pregnancy
• C. Woman who has given birth more than once
• D. Woman who has given birth exactly once

Answer: (A)

Nullipara means a woman who has never given birth to a child. In obstetrics, this term is used to describe parity and is contrasted with primipara (one birth) and multipara (two or more births). The idea is about whether a delivery has occurred; a current pregnancy does not by itself change parity until birth. Therefore, the best description is someone who has never borne a child.
