Pregnancy care questioning [message #28508]

Hello, and apologies if this is not in the right place.

Am I correct in my interpretation for the birth history for a given survey e.g. a 2005 survey, that whilst a woman will be asked about all of her previous pregnancies, that information about birth/antenatal care/postnatal care is only collected for births within the last 5 years?

I am struggling to interpret the large amounts of 'missing data' present in the births recode for variables such as m2a, m2b - and do not want to interpret the survey incorrectly.

Thank you.
