I have some few some issues with the recent 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey. The variable (total pregnancy outcomes) in the Stata version (q208b) in the individual raw data which I assume refers all pregnancies a woman has ever had (sample = 18,116). In the children's raw data, there is a similar variable (pregout) also referring to pregnancy outcomes (sample = 19,324). If I merge the child raw data to the individual raw data, the sample is 19,324 as in the child's raw data. So if these two variables represent the total number of pregnancies a woman has ever had and now I want to limit the total number of pregnancies to 5 years preceding the survey (2012 - 2017). How do I go about this?

Your timely response will be very helpful.
