Interviewer instructions

As with Q323-334, we want to know fertility preferences. These questions refer to the last birth, instead of current pregnancy. Women who had one or more children are asked about their fertility preferences and preferred timing for the last birth, contraception use right before being pregnant with the last birth and feelings when she found out she became pregnant with the last birth.

Note that you need to ask the questions to women who had at least one birth including currently pregnant women with at least one child.
