Grand multiparity is often considered a clinical entity, as certain complications during pregnancy, delivery and puerperium are thought to occur with increased incidence in these women. In this prospective investigation no difference in complications was found between women with up to 6 deliveries and women with 7 or more deliveries. However the incidence of preterm deliveries was significantly higher in the group with up to 6 deliveries.
