Include children who have grown up and left home, children borne by the woman to other men as well as to her present husband, her children who are living away from home and children who have died even if they died shortly after birth. Be careful to include very young babies.<br /><br />Do not include adopted children, step children or children who may be staying in the household but were not borne by the woman herself.<br /><br />We are concerned with the number of children the woman has borne alive. '0' is a number. If the appropriate number of any line is '0', then write '0'. Do not leave lines blank and do not use any other symbol. It is just as important to record women who have not given birth as it to record those who have.</div><br /><br /><span class="pg">[p.39]</span><br /><br /><div class="i1">A child born alive is one who cries after being born.
