Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

I don't understand why you would want to reshape the data. The information you want is on each woman's record in the IR file. If you want to apply survival methods, for example, you have everything you need--the date of birth, date of marriage, date of each birth (including birth order) and date of interview, on the woman's record.
