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.
