O30-O48: Maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems
The group of conditions classified under 'Maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems' refer to maternal health situations requiring specialized attention due to issues related to the developing fetus, amniotic cavity, or possible complications surrounding the delivery of the baby. These conditions envelop a range of scenarios including multiple pregnancies (like twins or triplets), issues with the placenta or amniotic sac, fetal growth complications, or abnormal fetal heart rate, among other things. Symptoms can be varied, from common ones like unusual belly size or unusual fetal movement, to more emergency signs like bleeding or severe abdominal pain. While these conditions are not transmissible, certain underlying health factors in the mother, such as hypertension, diabetes, or a history of previous complicated deliveries can increase the risk. Such conditions can impact both the mother and the baby's health and require careful monitoring and medical management.
