This question is a combination of a filter and a question. First check Q.234 to see if the respondent is pregnant and mark the appropriate box. If she is not pregnant and has no living children, ask the question on the left as follows: "Now I have some questions about the future. Would you like to have a child or would you prefer not to have any child?" If she is not pregnant and has one or more children, ask the question, "Would you like to have another child or would you prefer not to have any more children?"
If the respondent is currently pregnant, mark the box labeled PREGNANT and ask the question under that box: ". After the child you are expecting...” Note that we want to make sure that pregnant women do not think that we are asking them if they want the child they are pregnant with now.
In either case, encircle the code, which reflects the woman's response, and carefully follow the correct skip instruction
