Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fetus or more, 2nd tri, fts2

This code signifies a multifetal pregnancy where at least one fetus has demised in the second trimester, but the remaining fetus(es) are still viable and the pregnancy is continuing. It specifically identifies the second fetus in such a scenario. This condition carries significant risks for the surviving fetus and the mother.

This code is used when documentation confirms a multifetal pregnancy with the intrauterine demise of one or more fetuses during the second trimester (weeks 14-27+6 days), and the pregnancy is ongoing with at least one live fetus. The medical record must clearly specify the second trimester and identify the affected fetus(es).

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "second trimester" and identifies the specific fetus (e.g., "fetus 2").
• Do not confuse this with complete fetal demise of all fetuses, which would be coded differently.
• Always sequence this code after the primary code for the multifetal pregnancy (e.g., O30.0-).
