Dear Amira,
I just verified with one of our data processing experts. In our standard birth histories for the the DHS Program, a child must have breathed a breath or shown signs of life and later died. Most of our surveys implement a birth history, some (mainly in Asia) have implemented a full pregnancy history. However, that is not the standard. In any case, the variable for a child dying before it was born would be different than the B6 variable and in some cases country-specific. I am attaching a list of the surveys which implemented a full pregnancy history. If you have additional questions, please feel free to post again.
Thank you!
