So. If a patient has been pregnant twice... But the first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage at say, 10 or 12 weeks...
Is the 'second' pregnancy considered a 'first pregnancy' (i.e. Z34.01), or a subsequent pregnancy (Z34.81), since the first
one wasn't a 'full' pregnancy that resulted in a birth...
Pure logic would have me believe it's the second pregnancy, technically, because she's been pregnant twice, but... Here I've gone
and started getting philosophical, so... Anybody have any concrete knowledge on this?
Thanks in advance!
