It is hard for me to help you, but clearly you used the wrong variables, because women should be at least 13 or so before giving birth, right? What were the variables you used, and which recode are you using? I would suggest using the child recode, and that would give you, for each child, the age of mother when that child was born. Then you can generate dummy variables such as:

gen MomAge35_40 = maternal_age >=35 & maternal_age<40

... and one for each age bin you are interested in.

Send me the code you used to generate that age variable you showed and lets see if you just made a typo or something....
