Dear Bridgette,

Maybe I got confused, but in your answer you say that "For the second birth, the cmc of birth is b3_02". As far as I can understand, b3_02 is the time of birth for the second to last birth, but not to the second birth for the mother (where first-child is the first one and so on). Furthermore, see explanation here

Which one is correct?

And if this is correct, then how do you calculate age at second birth?

thanks!
