Interviewer instructions

This question is a combination of a filter and a question. First, check Q. 226 to see whether the respondent is pregnant and select the appropriate option. If she is not pregnant and has no living children (check Q. 216), ask the question on the left as follows: “Now I have some questions about the future. Would you like to have a child or would you prefer not to have any children?” If she is not pregnant and has one or more children, you will have to word the question differently saying, “Would you like to have another child or would you prefer not to have any more children?”

If the respondent is currently pregnant, select PREGNANT and ask the question under that box: “After the child you are expecting . . .” Note that we want to make sure that pregnant women do not think that we are asking them whether they want the child they are pregnant with now.
