O35: Maternal care for known or suspected fetal abnormality and damage
O35.7: Maternal care for (suspected) damage to fetus by other medical procedures
Maternal care for (suspected) damage to fetus by other medical procedures refers to the specialized healthcare provided to an expecting mother when there is worry that a medical procedure she underwent might harm the unborn child. These could be procedures directly involving the fetus, the womb, or any surgical or diagnostic procedure that could inadvertently affect the fetus's well-being. The condition does not exhibit obvious symptoms, and concerns usually arise from medical history or ongoing treatment protocols. Progression of potential damage can vary significantly, depending on the nature of the procedure, gestational stage, and individual health factors. Several body systems may be affected, again depending on what medical procedure was performed. The aim of such prenatal care is to monitor closely and minimize any potential risks to the fetus.
