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

This code signifies a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have demised during the second trimester, but at least one other fetus remains viable and the pregnancy is ongoing. It describes the maternal condition of carrying a continuing pregnancy despite the intrauterine demise of a co-twin or co-fetus.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a multifetal pregnancy with a confirmed intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) of one or more fetuses in the second trimester, and the remaining fetus(es) are still alive. Supporting documentation includes ultrasound reports confirming IUFD and viability of other fetuses, and physician notes detailing the ongoing pregnancy.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the specific type of multifetal pregnancy (e.g., O30.0- for twin pregnancy).
• Ensure the documentation specifies "second trimester" for the IUFD; codes exist for other trimesters.
• Do not confuse with codes for complete miscarriage or termination of pregnancy, as this code indicates a continuing pregnancy.
