A) True.
The statement is true. While first births are generally associated with increased risks compared to subsequent births, higher-order births (such as third, fourth, or more) may pose additional risks due to poor maternal health resulting from the cumulative effects of previous pregnancies. The body undergoes physiological changes with each pregnancy, and multiple pregnancies can increase the strain on the mother's health, potentially leading to complications. It is important for healthcare providers to monitor and support the health of mothers during higher-order births to mitigate these risks.
