Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fts or more, unsp tri, fts2

This code describes a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have died in utero, but at least one other fetus remains viable and the pregnancy is continuing. It specifically applies when the trimester of the fetal demise is not documented and refers to the second fetus in a multiple gestation.

Use this code when documentation confirms the intrauterine demise of one fetus in a multifetal pregnancy, with at least one other fetus still alive, and the specific trimester of the demise is not specified. This code is appropriate for the second fetus in a multiple gestation. Documentation should clearly indicate the viability status of each fetus.

• Always assign a code for the continuing pregnancy (e.g., O30.-) in conjunction with this code.
• Ensure the documentation specifies which fetus (e.g., fetus 1, fetus 2) experienced the demise to select the correct character.
• Do not use this code if the trimester of the intrauterine death is known; instead, use the trimester-specific codes (O31.21-O31.23-).
