Question pretext

Question post text

RECORD NUMBER OF COMPLETED MONTHS. ENTER 'P's IN THE CALENDAR, BEGINNING WITH THE MONTH OF INTERVIEW AND FOR THE TOTAL NUMBER OF COMPLETED MONTHS.

Interviewer instructions

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 5th month of pregnancy, or have you completed your 5th month of pregnancy?” Record '04' if she responds she is in the fifth month of pregnancy and '05' if she has completed the fifth month.

You also must record her pregnancy in the calendar. Write 'P' in the month of interview and for the preceding months of pregnancy. The total number of months recorded with 'P' for the current pregnancy will be the same as the number recorded in Q. 227, i.e., the number of completed 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.
