706. Have you ever given birth?
2 No (go to Q701 for next ever married woman)
Question 706 to 716: Number of children born alive
These questions are to collect the characteristics on all of the children born alive to the respondent, regardless of who the father is. When collecting the data on this matter, please explain to the respondent that the events to be covered are the children born alive even if [they are] not living in the same household or have passed away. Born alive is a child who, when born, showed signs of life such as crying, moving or breathing, even if the child only lived a few moments.
Also ask the respondent not to report the number of stillbirths (when the child did not show signs of life), foster children, or stepchildren.
Question 706: Has ever given birth
Ask the respondent if she ever gave birth. If the answer is "Yes", circle code 1 and continue to P707. If the answer is "No", circle code 2 and return to P701 for the next ever married woman. If there are no more women [who] ever were married, the interview for this list is over.
