P96.5: Complications of intrauterine procedures, not elsewhere classified, affecting fetus and newborn
A medical intervention inside the womb during pregnancy caused damage to health.
The womb lies in the woman's pelvis. Early in the pregnancy, the amniotic sac and the placenta develop in the womb. The amniotic sac contains the amniotic fluid and surrounds the child. The placenta consists of cells from the mother and cells from the unborn child. The umbilical cord connects the child to the placenta. 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.
If there is a medical intervention inside the womb during pregnancy, the child's health can be damaged. An intervention may be an operation or an amniotic fluid test, for example. An intervention can enable pathogens, for example, to get into the womb. Pathogens may cause an inflammation of the amniotic sac or the placenta. The placenta can also be damaged by an intervention. Then the placenta may bleed. Blood loss can also harm the child's health.
