Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fts or more, first tri, fts1

This code signifies a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have demised within the uterus during the first trimester, while at least one other fetus remains viable and the pregnancy continues. It specifically identifies the first fetus affected by intrauterine death.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a multiple gestation pregnancy with the loss of one or more fetuses in the first trimester, and the pregnancy is ongoing with at least one viable fetus. Supporting documentation includes ultrasound reports confirming fetal demise and viability of other fetuses, along with the gestational age.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "first trimester" for the fetal demise.
• Verify the specific fetus (e.g., fetus 1, fetus 2) identified as deceased, as this impacts the final character.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the multifetal pregnancy (e.g., O30.-).
