O20-O29: Other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy
O28: Abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother
The group of conditions known as "abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother" refers to any unusual results obtained during antenatal screening, a routine part of pregnancy healthcare. These screenings are important because they can detect potential issues that might affect the health of the mother or the unborn baby during the pregnancy. Abnormal findings can cover a broad range, including anomalies in the mother's blood or urine, high blood pressure, diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes), infections that may harm the fetus, and conditions associated with the baby's growth and development, such as genetic disorders or structural anomalies. These conditions can emerge at any point during pregnancy; their presentation and progression highly depend on the specific condition identified. Therefore, symptoms vary widely but experts are able to manage or treat many of these conditions with early detection and intervention.
