Questions and instructions
Literal question
Month of first birth?
Interviewer instructions
All questions refer only to LIVE births.
You need to obtain the month of the woman's first birth, which means the very first time she
gave birth, even if the child is no longer living, or is the child of a partner other than her
current one.

You will have to convert month to a number, as you have been instructed. If the month
contains only one digit, use a zero to fill in the first space. For example, the month of March
is coded as '03'.

If she cannot give the month, probe to try to estimate the month. If you cannot estimate the
child's month of birth from this information, you may need to find out in which season he/she
was born. If it is still not possible to estimate the child's month of birth, circle '99' in the
space for month of birth.
