Codes and Frequencies
Description
For women who are currently pregnant, PGDESIRE (V225) reports whether, at the time of becoming pregnant, the woman wanted her pregnancy then, later, or not at all.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, PGDESIRE (V225) is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
PGDESIRE (V225) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase II forward.
In Phases II through V, interviewers asked a single question: "At the time you became pregnant, did you want to become pregnant then, did you want to wait until later, or did you not want to have any (more) children?" Beginning in Phase VI, this query was divided into two questions. First, the respondent was asked, "When you got pregnant, did you want to get pregnant at that time?" If she answered "no," the respondent was then asked, "Did you want to have a baby later or did you not want any (more) children?"
