Interviewer instructions
You need to obtain the month of the woman's first birth, which means the very first time she gave birth, even if the child is no longer living, or is the child of a partner other than her current one.

You will have to convert month to a number, as you have been instructed. If the month contains only one digit, use a zero to fill in the first space. For example, the month of March is coded as '03'.

If she cannot give the month, probe to try to estimate the month. If you cannot estimate the child's month of birth from this information, you may need to find out in which season he/she was born. If it is still not possible to estimate the child's month of birth, circle '98' in the space for month of birth.
