O06.8: Unspecified abortion Complete or unspecified, with other and unspecified complications

You are having, or you had, a miscarriage or a terminated pregnancy.

During pregnancy, a child develops inside your uterus. In the case of a miscarriage the child, not yet fully developed, is prematurely expelled from the womb. There can be various reasons for a miscarriage. It may be that the child has not developed properly and died in the womb. It may also be that other reasons caused the miscarriage and the child died immediately afterwards.

The termination of a pregnancy involves the pregnancy being terminated through external measures.

Problems occurred as a result of the miscarriage or termination.
