In the USA and perhaps elsewhere as well, this stigmatizing language has been dropped and we refer instead to marital and non-marital births.--Stan BECKER 18:48, 25 November 2014 (CET)

I agree, but was it the case in the 90's? Would you add the note;
  • 1. In the United States of America we refer to marital and non-marital births.
To be checked. --Nicolas Brouard (talk) 18:01, 28 December 2017 (CET)

The medical lit matches the demographic here with gravidity and parity refering to pregs and live births, so I would not say "although in biological...." though you are right that sometimes nulliparous refers to no pregnancies.--Stan BECKER 18:48, 25 November 2014 (CET)

nulligravida is rarely used. Your choice but I would hope the dictionary would help standardize rather than encourage nonstandard usage by treating everything used as fine.--Stan BECKER 18:48, 25 November 2014 (CET)
