The number of live births is the number of live births a child has at the time of birth, and is usually entered in the maternal health handbook given by the doctor near the time of delivery. If a pregnant woman has already given birth to two children, and this is the third child, the number of births should be 3. The doctor will determine whether the woman is a primigravida or a metigravida, and will help to determine the physical condition of the woman. Therefore, it is important to fill in the form truthfully so as not to influence the doctor’s judgment and cause adverse consequences. Filling out the maternal health handbook truthfully is of great significance in improving the quality of maternal health management and disease prevention and control, and reducing the maternal mortality rate, perinatal mortality rate and the birth rate of children with disabilities.
