Literal question
Now i would like to ask about all the births you have had during your life. Have you ever given birth? If "No" probe by asking: I mean, to a child who ever breathed or cried or showed other signs of life - even if he or she lived only a few minutes or hours?
Interviewer instructions
If the woman says she never given birth, read out the probe to make sure the woman understands the meaning of "birth", as described during your training. Explain: "I mean, to a lived only a few minutes or hours?" if her answer is still "no", record "2" and skip to next module.
