Pregnancy related exhaustion and fatigue, second trimester

This code signifies significant, persistent tiredness and lack of energy experienced by a pregnant patient during their second trimester that is directly attributable to the pregnancy itself. It represents a level of fatigue beyond typical pregnancy-related tiredness, impacting daily functioning.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient in their second trimester presents with documented complaints of severe exhaustion or fatigue that the provider explicitly links to the pregnancy. Documentation should differentiate this from fatigue due to other underlying medical conditions.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "second trimester" and attributes the exhaustion/fatigue to the pregnancy.
• Do not use this code if the fatigue is due to anemia, thyroid dysfunction, or other identifiable medical conditions; code the underlying condition instead.
• Consider co-coding with other pregnancy-related conditions if applicable, but this code specifically addresses the exhaustion/fatigue.
