What This Code Means

A pregnant woman has gained less weight than is typically recommended, but the specific trimester is not documented.

Coding Tips

•Use this code only when trimester is unknown or unspecified; otherwise, use trimester-specific codes (O26.11-O26.13).
•Document the amount of weight gain and any contributing factors (hyperemesis, poor nutrition, etc.).
