[Multi-parity in Saudi Arabia].
The relation between birthweight and parity of the mother was examined in Saudi patients from Tabuk and Najran. 4,664 newborns were taken into consideration from 1985-1988. 30.7% (1,430) of these newborns were born to mothers with more than 5 deliveries. A positive correlation between the increasing number of the parity and the birthweight can be demonstrated in our patients from parity 9. From parity 9 to parity 11 there is an increasing birth-weight of the male newborns, whereas the weight of the female newborns shows different tendencies. The average age of a Saudi primipara is 20.5 years and increases by 1.05-1.99 years until parity 11. From parity 11 to parity 13 it increases by 0.7 years.
