Questions and instructions

Literal question

211. Now I would like to talk to you about all of your births, whether still alive or not, starting with the first one you had.

RECORD NAMES OF ALL THE BIRTHS IN 213. RECORD TWINS ON SEPARATE LINES AND MARK WITH A BRACKET. IF THERE ARE MORE THAN SEVEN BIRTHS CONTINUE RECORDING THE NAMES ON THE NEXT PAGE. THEN ASK 214 THROUGH 219 AS APPROPRIATE FOR EACH BIRTH. AFTER RECORDING THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 214-219 FOR ALL THE BIRTHS THE WOMAN HAS HAD, GO TO 220.
