There was very little interest in spacing the first birth. Nine in ten women who had not yet begun childbearing at the time of the survey wanted a birth soon. More than 9 in 10 women who had one child expressed a desire to have another child. However, the majority (57 percent) of women with one child wanted to wait two years or more to have the next birth Among women with more than one child, the desire to cease childbearing increased rapidly with the number of children, from 53 percent among women with two children to 80 percent among women with three children.
