Term delivery with preterm labor, third trimester, fetus 3

This code signifies a pregnancy that has reached term (37+ weeks gestation) but experienced episodes of preterm labor contractions during the third trimester. Despite these contractions, the pregnancy successfully progressed to a term delivery. The "3" in the final character indicates this is the third fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a term delivery following a history of preterm labor in the third trimester. This typically involves a patient presenting with uterine contractions before 37 weeks, which subsequently resolve, and the pregnancy continues to term. Documentation should explicitly state "term delivery" and "preterm labor" in the third trimester.

• Ensure the delivery occurred at 37 weeks or greater gestation to qualify as "term."
• Verify that the preterm labor occurred specifically in the third trimester (28 weeks 0 days to 40 weeks 6 days gestation).
• Confirm the fetus number (e.g., first, second, third) in multiple gestations for accurate character assignment.
