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

Those variables are not included in DHS surveys. To find out which antenatal and postnatal variables are in the data, you can open the GR file in Stata and enter "describe m*". (Also "describe s*" in other surveys but I see nothing relevant among the "s" variables in this survey.) The variables most relevant to your question have the prefix "mnb" ("nb" for newborn.)  You can also look at the questionnaire.
