Hi Nando,
The data for the module is in the "Special" dataset instead of the standard datasets. These questions were asked as part of the "special" youth module (Adolescent Reproductive Health Survey, link: http://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-FR281-Other-F inal-Reports.cfm) first collected in the 2002-2003 wave. Unfortunately, these data were collected only from people 15-24 who were never married (see the filter questions at the top of page 337 of the Indonesia DHS 2012 final report, link: http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR281/FR281.pdf). Of course you can merge the people in this dataset with the people in the individual recode (IR) dataset, but very few of these young women would already have children. I did a quick and dirty merge, and saw very little overlap between the IR and adolescent datasets:

. merge 1:m mergeid using "births.dta"

    Result                           # of obs.
    -----------------------------------------
    not matched                        92,535
        from master                     8,894  (_merge==1)
        from using                     83,641  (_merge==2)

    matched                                 9  (_merge==3)
    -----------------------------------------




To access the data, when you are in the datasets download page of the DHS website, click on "Yes" next to Type = "Special" DHS 2012 (direct link: https://dhsprogram.com/data/dataset/Indonesia_Special_2012.c fm?flag=1).
