Triplet liveborn infant, delivered vaginally

This code identifies a liveborn infant who is one of three babies delivered during a single pregnancy. Specifically, it indicates that the delivery of this triplet occurred via a vaginal birth.

Apply this code to the medical record of a newborn triplet when the delivery method was vaginal. It is used for the infant's chart, not the mother's. This code is appropriate for each liveborn triplet delivered vaginally.

• Assign this code to the infant's record, not the mother's.
• Ensure the delivery method was explicitly documented as vaginal for this specific triplet.
• Confirm the infant is indeed one of three from a multiple gestation.
