O84.0: Multiple delivery, all spontaneous
Multiple delivery, all spontaneous, refers to a situation in which a pregnant woman gives birth to more than one baby, all spontaneously, at approximately the same time during a single gestation period. This is one kind of multiple pregnancy, and it either happens naturally or as a result of fertility treatments. In spontaneous multiple delivery, every baby has its own separate amniotic sac and placenta, suggesting they all evolved from separate eggs fertilized at the same time. The common symptoms include a larger than normal uterus for the gestational age, unusual fetal activity patterns, and higher weight gain than with a single pregnancy. Multiple pregnancies are associated with a greater risk of complications like prematurity, low birth weight, and preeclampsia. It's essential to monitor such pregnancies closely for the health and well-being of the mother and babies.
