Comment from Ruilin Ren, Senior DHS Sampling Expert:

Yes, it is true that even when pooling two different surveys from the same country, you need to de-normalize the sampling weight because the sampling fractions of the two surveys might be very different. But it does not matter if your study units are all women 15-49 or a sub-set of them, or even if your study units are children under five from the women's data file. You need to de-normalize V005 using the population of women 15-49 at the time of the survey, or the best estimates you can get.
