ENTER 'T' IN THE CALENDAR IN THE MONTH THAT EACH PREGNANCY TERMINATED AND 'P' FOR THE REMAINING NUMBER OF COMPLETED MONTHS.

236. Did you have any miscarriages, abortions or stillbirths that ended before 1389?

235) Did you have any miscarriages, abortions, stillbirths or MR that ended before 2002?

236) Did you have any miscarriages, abortions or stillbirths that ended before 2006?

USING THE INFORMATION IN THE CALENDAR, PROBE TO DETERMINE IF THE WOMAN HAD ANY STILLBIRTHS, MISCARRIAGES, OR ABORTIONS BACK TO JANUARY 1995.
IF THE WOMAN REPORTS A PREGNANCY THAT DID NOT END IN A LIVE BIRTH, ASK ABOUT THE MONTH AND YEAR IN WHICH THE PREGNANCY ENDED.
RECORD THE APPROPRIATE CODE FOR THE PREGNANCY OUTCOME ON THAT DATE IN COLUMN 2 IN THE CALENDAR. ("S" FOR STILLBIRTH, "M" FOR MISCARRIAGE AND "A" FOR ABORTION).
THEN ASK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF MONTHS THE PREGNANCY LASTED AND RECORD "P" IN EACH OF THE PRECEDING MONTHS ACCORDING TO THE DURATION OF THE PREGNANCY.
(NOTE: THE DURATION OF THE PREGNANCY SHOULD BE RECORDED IN COMPLETED MONTHS. THE NUMBER OF P'S MUST BE ONE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF MONTHS THAT THE PREGNANCY LASTED).

ILLUSTRATIVE QUESTIONS

TO IDENTIFY NON-LIVE BIRTH PREGNANCIES, ASK:

INTERVAL BETWEEN CURRENT PREGNANCY AND PRIOR BIRTH (LAST BIRTH):
Did you have any pregnancy that ended in a stillbirth after the birth of (NAME OF LAST BIRTH) and before your current pregnancy? Or any pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

INTERVAL BETWEEN LAST AND PRIOR BIRTH:
Did you have any pregnancy that ended in a stillbirth between (NAME OF LAST BIRTH) and (NAME OF PRIOR BIRTH)? Or any pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

INTERVAL BETWEEN NEXT-TO-LAST BIRTH AND PRIOR BIRTH:
Did you have any pregnancy that ended in a stillbirth between (NAME OF NEXT-TO-LAST BIRTH) and (NAME OF PRIOR BIRTH)? Or any pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

WOMEN WITH NO LIVE BIRTHS BUT WITH CURRENT PREGNANCY:
Before your current pregnancy, did you ever have any other pregnancy that ended in a stillbirth? Or any other pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

WOMEN WITH NO LIVE BIRTHS AND NOT CURRENTLY PREGNANT:
Have you ever had a stillbirth? IF YES: When did the last stillbirth occur? Have you ever had a miscarriage or abortion? IF YES: When did the last miscarriage or abortion occur?

FOR EACH PREGNANCY TERMINATION ASK:
How many months pregnant were you when the pregnancy ended?

234A. Did you have any pregnancies that terminated before 1995 which did not result in a live birth?

CHECK 220AC FOR EACH PREGNANCY THAT DID NOT END IN A LIVE BIRTH. CHECK 220AD. IF YES (CODE '1' CIRCLED), ENTER 'A' FOR ABORTION OR 'C' (IF CODE '2' CIRCLED) FOR MISCARRIAGE OR 'S' FOR STILLBIRTH, IN CALENDAR IN THE MONTH THAT THE PREGNANCY TERMINATED AND 'P' FOR THE REMAINING NUMBER OF COMPLETED MONTHS OF PREGNANCY.

IF THERE ARE MORE THAN FOUR PREGNANCIES THAT DID NOT END IN A LIVE BIRTH, USE AN ADDITIONAL QUESTIONAIRRE STARTING ON THE SECOND LINE.
