P00-P04: Fetus and newborn affected by maternal factors and by complications of pregnancy, labour and delivery

Fetus and newborn affected by maternal factors and complications of pregnancy, labour and delivery refers to a group of conditions where the baby in the womb or newborn is affected by health complications that arise from the mother during pregnancy, or during the process of childbirth. These maternal factors can range from issues like diabetes or hypertension in the mother, to complications such as prolonged labour or infection during delivery. The impacts on the baby can vary significantly depending on the specific maternal factor or complication at play. It could result in premature birth, low birth weight, or difficulties in breathing. In some cases, the baby might also have issues like low blood sugar levels or jaundice. Their progress would depend on the severity of the condition, their premature status, among other factors.
