Understanding parity is crucial for several reasons:
Risk Assessment: Parity helps in assessing the risk of complications in future pregnancies. For instance, multiparous women might have increased risks of uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage. Healthcare Planning: It aids healthcare providers in planning the type of care and monitoring needed. For example, a primiparous woman might need more guidance and support compared to a multiparous woman. Predictive Value: The history of previous births can predict future pregnancy outcomes. Women with a history of preterm birth are at a higher risk of recurrence.
