Grand multipara: The term multipara applies to any woman who has given birth 2 or more times. A woman who has given birth 5 or more times is called a grand multipara.
For a pregnancy to count as a birth, it must go to at least 20 weeks' gestation (the mid-point of a full-term pregnancy) or yield an infant that weighs at least 500 grams, irrespective of whether the infant is liveborn or not.
The term multipara is composed of two Latin words: multi- from multus, much + -para from pario, to bring forth = to bring forth much (in the way of children).
