Interviewer instructions

In this section, information is collected about the births that a woman has had during her life, her current pregnancy status, and her knowledge of the monthly menstrual cycle. This is a particularly important section, and you need to be especially careful to obtain all the required information.

QUESTION 306 -319 REFER TO WOMEN WHO ARE CURRENTLY PREGNANT

Record the answer in completed months, putting a zero in the first box if she has completed nine or fewer months of pregnancy. You may need to check that the woman is responding in completed months.

Example: If the woman answers that she is 'five months pregnant', ask “Are you in your fifth month of pregnancy, or have you completed your fifth month of pregnancy?” Record '04' if she responds she is in the fifth month of pregnancy and '05' if she has completed five months of pregnancy.

If the woman does not know how many months she has been pregnant, probe to get an estimate by asking, for example, about the date of her last menstrual period.
