O84.8: Other multiple delivery
The medical condition referred to as 'Other multiple delivery,' is a situation in childbirth where a woman gives birth to more than one baby from a single pregnancy. This condition does not include the common cases of multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets, but refers to more unusual cases. The babies could be quintuplets, sextuplets or more. The birth could occur naturally or be medically induced. The condition often includes a higher risk of certain complications for both the mother and the babies, like possible preterm birth, low birth weight, and potential need for neonatal intensive care. The severity and specifics of each case can differ, with every pregnancy and delivery providing unique challenges and circumstances.
