Includes: the listed conditions in the fetus as a reason for hospitalization or other obstetric care to the mother, or for termination of pregnancy. Excludes1 (not coded here): encounter for suspected maternal and fetal conditions ruled out Z03.7-. Excludes2 (not included here): chromosomal abnormality in fetus O35.1-. Code also: any associated maternal condition. 7th character: One of the following 7th characters is to be assigned to each code under category O35. 7th character 0 is for single gestations and multiple gestations where the fetus is unspecified. 7th characters 1 through 9 are for cases of multiple gestations to identify the fetus for which the code applies.
