P00: Fetus and newborn affected by maternal conditions that may be unrelated to present pregnancy
P00.6: Fetus and newborn affected by surgical procedure on mother
The child's health can be damaged by an operation on the mother during pregnancy. An operation can cause pathogens to get into the womb or be transmitted to the child, for example. Pathogens can cause premature contractions or a premature birth. After an operation on the mother, the child can have problems with their breathing, circulation or nervous system.
