Description
ANKNOWMO_ALL reports how many months pregnant the female respondent was when she came to know about her pregnancy.
ANKNOWMO_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANKNOWMO_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANKNOWMO_02, ANKNOWMO_03, ANKNOWMO_04, ANKNOWMO_05, and ANKNOWMO_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
