Obesity In Pregnancy ICD-10-CM Codes

Yes. There are other ICD-10 codes that can be used to explain a patient’s obesity, but they’re not exactly specific to obesity in pregnancy.

They will closely monitor the unborn child and may conduct tests to screen for gestational diabetes and sleep apnea, and they will also make adjustments to fetal ultrasounds to work around the obesity.

Make dietary changes that promote the avoidance of excessive weight gain, be physically active despite being pregnant (so long as they are safe to do), and avoid smoking and consuming other substances like alcohol and drugs.
