Such questioning helped to check the participant's response against the information they had already provided. In the above example, Mmaoshadi had already given the same reasons without any prompting, therefore, the response to the question served as confirmation. Some words used by the participant serve as in vivo codes, i.e., codes constructed using elements from participant's own speech (Strauss and Corbin 1990). These are the underlined words in the quotation above. Immediately following the interview, when the researcher arrived home, and sometimes in the car, before going home, notes were made about the interview situation. The notes included anything noteworthy that was observed, or anything surprising or unexpected that the participant mentioned or seemed to concentrate on during the interview. The interview style was also reflected on to determine whether it could have been better, and how it could be made more effective in subsequent interviews. After Nnese's interview, the following notes were made: Nnese seems upset about her husband's lack ofsupport for a home birth, but determined to have her baby at home. It was a bit difficult to conduct the interview because Nnese's son was in the room and wanting attention from her, or making too much noise. However, despite this, Nnese put her point or view across clearly. Perhaps I did not give N nese adequate time to discuss all factors affecting her decision, or maybe I did not use the right prompts? 114
