Term delivery with preterm labor, second trimester, fetus 2

This code signifies a delivery occurring at term (37 weeks 0 days gestation or greater) in a patient who experienced preterm labor during the second trimester (14 weeks 0 days to 27 weeks 6 days gestation). It specifically identifies the second fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy.

Use this code when a patient delivers at term, but the medical record clearly documents an episode of preterm labor that occurred between 14 and 27 weeks 6 days of gestation. Documentation should specify the delivery of the second fetus in a multifetal pregnancy.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "term delivery" and "preterm labor in the second trimester."
• Verify the fetal number (e.g., "fetus 2") is clearly identified in the delivery notes.
• Do not confuse with codes for actual preterm delivery, as this code indicates a term delivery despite prior preterm labor.
