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

Table 6.15 includes all women, whether or not they are pregnant. They are classified according to the outcome of the most recent COMPLETED pregnancy. A current pregnancy, for women who are currently pregnant, is not included in the numerator. It is not used IN ANY WAY in the construction of the table.

This table is potentially confusing because the last column is titled "Number of pregnancies". A better title, in my opinion, would be "Number of women". Hope this helps.
