P00: Fetus and newborn affected by maternal conditions that may be unrelated to present pregnancy
P00.8: Fetus and newborn affected by other maternal conditions
The child's health can be damaged if the mother has health problems. Certain disorders in the mother, for example, can affect how the child develops in the womb. During the pregnancy and birth, for example, pathogens may have been transmitted from the mother to the child. Medical interventions on the mother may also damage the child's health.
