You may want to try using IPUMS DHS. If you select births as your unit of analysis, all of the mother variables from the IR file will be accessible to you.

Select your samples, the variables you want, and click "View Data Cart." (The data are free.) Select the file format that's appropriate for you and download a single merged file with all samples appended and all of your selected variables harmonized. The file will also contain a survey variable and combined psu and strata variables (idhspsu, idhsstrata) with unique values for comparative analysis.
