Psychological abuse complicating pregnancy, second trimester

This code signifies the presence of psychological abuse experienced by a pregnant patient during her second trimester, which is directly impacting or complicating the pregnancy. It indicates that the emotional or mental mistreatment is a relevant factor in the patient's obstetric care.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states psychological abuse occurring in the second trimester and explicitly links it as a complication of the pregnancy. This may include scenarios where the abuse leads to stress-related conditions, non-compliance with prenatal care, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

• Ensure documentation specifies "psychological abuse" and not just general stress or domestic conflict.
• Verify the trimester of pregnancy is clearly documented as the second trimester.
• Always sequence this code after the primary obstetric code (e.g., O99.89 for other specified diseases and conditions complicating pregnancy).
