Hi,
How do you sort out respondents "who ever been pregnant" in the IDIR data file?
Also, respondents "whose first pregnancy ended in termination"?
Lastly, respondents "who are currently pregnant with their first child?"
Which variable codes I need to use / steps that I should do to sort these women respondents out?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Greselva

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
The number of miscarriages, abortions, and stillbirths before 2012 are given by s238aa,ab,ac. I don't see a variable for the number since January 2012 but it's given by the largest n for which s233n_* is not NA. The number of live births is v201. Currently pregnant is v213. I expect there is a variable "ever pregnant" in the file but if any of the variables I listed is >0 then the woman is "ever pregnant". You can probably identify women whose first pregnancy ended in a termination.
DHS is switching to collecting pregnancy histories rather than birth histories. This Indonesia survey collected birth histories and then had a rather complicated way of filling in pregnancies that did not end in a live birth. I believe the approach used in this survey was unique. We cannot give you further help but perhaps others who have used this survey can add more suggestions.
