From: The influence of community factors in the implementation of community-based interventions to improve antenatal care: a qualitative study based on the IMCHA programme in Tanzania

Kilolo district

Mufindi district

How did you come to know that I am pregnant?

You better leave my home, I have nothing to tell you

I will deal with whoever told you that I am pregnant

I don’t know why you ask me such private questions

If anything bad happens to me, you will be liable for it

Make your story very short; I have other businesses to attend to. After all, what you are saying is not new to me

My daughter is not pregnant unless you have come for other issues

My husband is not here, I cannot listen to what you are talking about. You should come next time when he is present

Give us the money that you are given instead of tormenting us with your questions

I am old enough to know my responsibility when pregnant; you are still too young to advise me
