You can use the date of birth of the children and then back it out for each kid. That is, for each child in the birth recode, you know the date of birth, and you know the date of birth of the mother, so you can just, for each child, note whether it was born before the woman reached Age 20 or 30 or whatever. It might take some looping in the code, but all the commands should be fairly straight forward. First calculate, for each child, the age of the mom at birth, and then count them up by woman.
