Vaginal birth

/in /by

A full-term, 38-week gestation, infant is born by vaginal birth in the hospital to a 35-year-old female who develops gestational diabetes during the pregnancy. The mother required close monitoring during the pregnancy because of rather severe fluctuations in blood glucose levels. The infant, weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces, appears normal and healthy. However, because of the mother’s gestational diabetes, the infant is kept as an inpatient in the hospital for two days longer than usual to observe for possible metabolic disorders as a result of his mother’s condition. No symptoms are exhibited by the infant, and the results of diagnostic studies performed are negative. The pediatrician writes the discharge diagnosis as a normal, full-term infant, observed for possible effects of the mother’s gestational diabetes, no disease was found.

What are the first and secondary ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes for this scenario?
