Hi,

I assume you are referring to sibling listing in the maternal mortality module. It is not quite clear; you may also be referring to the birth history. Below what you would need when referring to the sibling listing:

First you would need a survey with the maternal mortality module implemented, for example Zimbabwe DHS 2015.
Then take variables:

MMC1: Number of siblings of respondent (add one, the respondent, for total sibship size)

and

MMC2: Number of siblings born before respondent's birth

Then should have what you need.

Good luck with you analysis.
