Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
You may find the "p" variables in the NR file easier to use. p32 is especially useful. The categories are live birth, stillbirth, abortion, and miscarriage. A stillbirth is a pregnancy of 7+ months of duration that does not end in a live birth. Otherwise, a pregnancy that does not end in a live birth is classified as a miscarriage--unless it has been explicitly stated to be an induced abortion. If you use p32 you do not really have to figure out how to recode weeks and months of pregnancy. Hope this will help. Let us know if you still have questions.
