Notes
The number of children to whom the female sibling gave birth to during her live. In most countries, for women with a maternity related death, this is the number of children born prior to the pregnancy, if the respondent was pregnant when she died or if she died during delivery, and includes the child, if the woman died after the birth of the child. This question is no longer part of the DHS VII core questionnaire, but the variable is kept in the DHS VII recode.
