O62: Abnormalities of forces of labour
O62.9: Abnormality of forces of labour, unspecified
During labor, the muscles of the uterus contract. During the birth contractions push the child out of the uterus. Contractions take place mainly towards the end of the pregnancy and during childbirth.
If you have unusual contractions during labor, this can adversely affect how labor progresses.
