What is a primipara?

Explanation:
Primipara refers to a woman who has delivered one pregnancy that reached viability. In obstetrics, parity counts the number of births beyond a viable gestational age. So one delivery equals primipara. If she has never delivered, she’s nullipara; if she’s delivered two or more times, she’s multipara. This concept counts births, not just pregnancies, and a single pregnancy with twins still counts as one delivery.
