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

I don't think v233 will be useful. If you enter "tab v233 v228,m" you will see that v233 only refers to the most recent terminated pregnancy ("terminated" means "not a live birth").

In the NR file, you can enter "tab p20 p32". The first column, for live births, has 3 at 6 months, 34 at 7 months, 287 at 8 months, 2807 at 9 months, and 46 at 10 months. I think this is the closest we can come to what you are looking for. We do not have weeks, just months.  It is not clear whether, say, "9 months" means "in the 9th month of pregnancy" or "after 9 completed months of pregnancy, but not 19".  These are not clinical data.  Another table that could be useful is given by "tab m14 p20 if p32==1 & pidx==1".  You can repeat that command for other values of p32. Your analysis should include sampling weights, which I have omitted here.
