Pregnancy related exhaustion and fatigue, unsp trimester

This code signifies a pregnant patient experiencing significant tiredness and lack of energy that is directly attributed to the pregnancy, without further specification of the gestational period. It describes a general state of weariness and diminished physical or mental capacity related to the physiological demands of gestation.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states "pregnancy-related exhaustion" or "pregnancy-related fatigue" and the trimester is not specified. It is appropriate when the provider links the patient's fatigue directly to her pregnant state, and no other specific cause (e.g., anemia, thyroid dysfunction) is identified or coded.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly links the exhaustion/fatigue to the pregnancy.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific cause for the fatigue (e.g., O99.0- Anemia complicating pregnancy) is identified.
• Do not use if the trimester is documented; instead, select the appropriate trimester-specific code (O26.811, O26.812, O26.813).
