O69.5: Labour and delivery complicated by vascular lesion of cord

While your child was being born, problems occurred due to an injured vessel in the umbilical cord.

During pregnancy the umbilical cord connects the child's blood circulation to the mother's. The child receives nutrients and oxygen via the blood vessels in the umbilical cord.

When a vessel is injured, the blood vessels of the umbilical cord can bleed. These blood vessels can also get blocked by clotted blood. The umbilical cord may also have been crushed.
