Nullipara is defined as?

• 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)

In obstetrics, parity describes how many times a woman has delivered a baby beyond viability. Nullipara means she has never given birth. A current pregnancy hasn’t produced a birth yet, so it doesn’t change parity—if she hasn’t delivered before, she remains nulliparous. If she has delivered once, she would be primiparous; if she has delivered more than once, she would be multiparous. So the statement “never given birth” best defines nullipara, while the other options describe pregnancies that are ongoing or prior births.
