O30.9: Multiple gestation, unspecified
Multiple gestation, unspecified refers to a pregnancy where there are two or more fetuses growing in the mother's womb, with the specific type of multiple gestation not being specified. This means that it could be a twin, triplet, quadruplet, or higher order pregnancy. This condition is often detected through an ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy. Multiple gestations can occur naturally, or they may be a result of fertility treatments. Some common indicators of multiple gestation might include larger than expected measurements for the stage of pregnancy, increased morning sickness, or feeling greater or earlier fetal movement. Potential risks include preterm labor, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia. The mother and babies require additional monitoring to ensure their health during a multiple gestation.
