Decreased fetal movements, second trimester, fetus 1

This code signifies a maternal condition where the pregnant individual perceives a reduction in the frequency or strength of fetal movements during the second trimester of pregnancy, specifically for the first fetus in a multiple gestation or for a singleton pregnancy. It indicates a potential concern requiring further evaluation of fetal well-being.

This code is appropriate when a pregnant patient in their second trimester reports decreased fetal activity, and the medical record confirms this finding for fetus 1. Documentation should include the patient's subjective report of reduced movements and the gestational age falling within the second trimester (typically weeks 13-27).

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "decreased" or "reduced" fetal movements, not absent movements.
• Verify the gestational age falls within the second trimester; codes exist for other trimesters.
• Confirm this applies to "fetus 1" in multiple gestations; separate codes exist for other fetuses.
