What is the meaning of suffix -gravida?

The suffix "-gravida" is used in medical terminology to indicate the number of times a woman has been pregnant.

Here's how it breaks down:

* Gravida: Refers to pregnancy.

* -gravida: The suffix denoting the number of pregnancies.

Examples:

* Primigravida: A woman who is pregnant for the first time.

* Multigravida: A woman who has been pregnant more than once.

* Nulligravida: A woman who has never been pregnant.

It's important to note that "-gravida" refers to the number of pregnancies, not the number of live births. A woman can be a multigravida even if she has only had one live birth, if she has experienced multiple pregnancies.
