A woman who has never been pregnant.
Full Definition
A nulligravida is a woman who has never conceived or been pregnant. This term is commonly used in gynecological documentation to describe a patient's obstetric history. It is distinguished from nullipara, which refers to a woman who has never given birth to a viable child, as a woman could have been pregnant but not delivered. Understanding this distinction is crucial for editors working with medical records and clinical documentation.
Usage
Usage note: Often abbreviated as G0 in obstetric notation; distinguish carefully from nullipara (P0).
