Nullipara means

Nullipara means

• A. never given birth
• B. given birth once
• C. given birth more than once
• D. pregnant for the first time

Answer: (A)

This term describes a woman’s birth history, not her current pregnancy. Nullipara means she has never delivered a baby beyond viability. It focuses on whether a birth has occurred, typically beyond about 20 weeks gestation, rather than whether she is pregnant now. If a pregnancy ends before viability or ends in miscarriage, that does not count as a birth in parity terms, so a person can still be nulliparous. The other phrases describe different parity statuses: one birth would be primiparous, and more than one birth would be multiparous.
