Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:
M14$1 corresponds to question 412 in the standard questionnaire and is asked for the last child.
The series M3A... correspond to the categories of question 433, and is asked of all children born in the last 3 or 5 years preceding the survey, depending on the period defined in that survey. M3A$1 refers to the last child.

This is a little tricky since I haven't used the Pakistan data, but the usual method, which seems to be applicable here, is to define strata as the combination of region and urban/rural (that is how the sample is stratified according to the Pakistan report (http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR290/FR290.pdf).
First, your PSU is defined wrong - use v021. v001 is something else
As for the strata, the usual method is to choose region, separated by urban/rural, which is done thusly:
egen strata = group(v024 v025), label
This tells Stata that the survey is stratified by region and urban/rural. That sounds like what the Pakistan report is saying in the Appendix: http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR290/FR290.pdf
Check out the DHS FAQ (http://dhsprogram.com/faq.cfm) under "using data files"
There is a small chance that the Pakistan survey works differently. You may want to investigate how v022 relates to the strata as I defined them above. But v023 is almost certainly the wrong variable.
