Duration Pregnancy [message #28676]

Hello,

regarding DHS 8 data of Nepal, I have a question about the pregnancy duration (P20 & p21). I don't understand the variable p21 (pregnancy duration in days) - in most, cases it is 209, even when the p20 is "9". A normal 40-week pregnancy should have around 280 days (let's say 9 months with 252 days) right?

Where can I find the "manual recode" for DHS8?
