I would like to know what is the difference between the pregnancies recode(PHGR81FL) and the pregnancy & postnatal care recode(PHNR81FL). I am referring to the Philippine DHS 2022 and we are using Python.

Please see the documentation in the recently updated Guide to DHS Statistics found at: https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/inde x.cfm
In the table of contents on the left-hand side, select Introduction and Description of DHS Datasets, then Organization of DHS data, and then Recode Files. Here you will find the GR file and the NR file described.
The main difference is that the GR file includes all pregnancies, while the NR file is restricted to pregnancies in the 3 years preceding the survey.

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Users are asked to tell us which DHS data file they are using, but not to send the file. We have access to all the data files.

I believe you are looking for variables m61-m69 in the NR and KR files. These variables focus on the mother's first postnatal check. There is not a variable for the number of such visits. The m7* variables focus on the child's first postnatal check.
