Please see comments below from Shea Rutstein:
MIDX is the index to the maternal health record (REC41), of which there is one for each birth that a woman had in the 5 years preceding the survey. If a woman had 3 births in the 5 year period, then there would be three records for her MIDX(1), MIDX(2) and MIDX(3), in reverse birth order (last birth, next to last, next to next to last). However, to match with the last birth information from the birth history (REC21), one should use the association between the two sets of records. For example the matched birth date (b3) would be b3(midx(1)). Another way to match would be to use records where BIDX = MIDX. For only last births, select the data file do that there are only cases where MIDX$01=1.
