I did not find variable indicating total number of pregnancies in pregnancy history of ever married women. I searched out from V224 to V243 but could not get the information about total number of terminated pregnancies. Its available only in binary nature (V228, V234).

Can i get total pregnancies by adding all children ever born to a women + total number of pregnancy losses + whether women currently pregnant or not?

I need:

1. Total number of pregnancies
2. Total number of lost pregnancies.
3. Whether the pregnancy resulting in (i) live birth (ii) miscarriage (iii) abortion (iv) spontaneous. Nominal variable

Which file should i adopt for above calculations!
1) BR-Birth Records
2) KR-Kid Records
3) IR-individual women records

Kindly help me for above problems.
