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

This code describes a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have died in utero during the third trimester, but the remaining fetus(es) continue to develop. It signifies a complex obstetric situation requiring careful monitoring of the viable fetus(es) and the pregnant patient.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates the intrauterine demise of at least one fetus in a multiple gestation during the third trimester, with the pregnancy still ongoing. Supporting documentation would include ultrasound reports confirming fetal demise and the continued viability of other fetuses, along with clinical notes detailing the gestational age.

• Ensure the documentation specifies the third trimester for the fetal demise.
• Do not use this code if all fetuses have demised or if the pregnancy has concluded.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the multifetal pregnancy (e.g., O30.-).
