Maternal age significantly influences pregnancy outcomes. Younger mothers and advanced maternal age (over 35 years) are associated with a higher risk of complications. Parity, or the number of times a woman has given birth, also plays a role. First-time mothers (nulliparous) and women with multiple pregnancies (multiparous) may face different sets of challenges. Nurses must assess these factors during prenatal visits to provide tailored care and counseling.
