Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The term "birth" is synonymous with "live birth". A woman has had a first birth if she has had any births. The total number of births a woman has had is given by v201. There are no missing values for this variable. Women with v201=0 have had no births at all. Women with v201>0 have had a first birth. You can construct a binary variable that is 0 if v201=0 and 1 if v201>0.
