Poliméripari

Poliméripari is a term used in obstetrics and gynecology to describe a woman who has experienced multiple pregnancies that have resulted in the birth of a viable fetus, regardless of whether the pregnancy was carried to term. The term specifically refers to the number of times a woman has given birth to a child that could survive outside the womb, typically after 20 weeks of gestation or weighing at least 500 grams.

This designation is distinct from parith, which refers to the total number of pregnancies a woman has had, including those that did not result in a live birth. Poliméripari is a factor considered in assessing a woman's reproductive history and potential risks associated with future pregnancies. For instance, women who are poliméripari may have a higher likelihood of certain complications in subsequent pregnancies due to the cumulative effects of previous births. Healthcare providers use this information to tailor prenatal care and manage potential risks more effectively. It's important to note that the number of poliméripari does not directly indicate the number of children a woman currently has, as it includes all births regardless of their outcome or survival status.
