Check out the "MM" variables for the maternal mortality calculations. These include all the information on the siblings of women interviewed (from which the maternal mortality rates are computed), their birth dates (MM4), whether they are alive (MM2), age at death (MM7), wether their death coincided with a pregnancy (MM9/10). From their you should be able to follow the DHS Guide to Statistics to calculate the rates.

If you don't see those variables, which recode are you using?
