Interviewer instructions
Here, you will also need to choose the appropriate phrasing for the question, based on what you already know about the respondent. This question should be asked of all women (pregnant or not pregnant) who say that they want to have another child.
Note that the answer can be given in months or years. Circle '1' if the response is in months or '2' if in years, and enter the answer in the appropriate spaces. If she says she would like to have a baby right away, record 993 for "Soon/now". If the woman says she cannot get pregnant, circle '994'. If the woman tells you she would like to wait until after she is married to have a child, record '995' for "After marriage". If she gives a different answer, circle '996' for "Other". If she says she does not know, circle '998'. For women who say that they cannot get pregnant, you should skip to the next module.
