Can someone please help me with a preterm delivery, 23 weeks. Pt delivered SVD, fetus did not survive. Is a V code used for outcome of delivery even though infant expired?

preterm delivery
Per the Official Coding Guidelines in ICD9, an outcome of delivery code should be applied on every maternal record when a delivery has occurred. The question is whether the fetus was stillborn, or was the baby born alive and subsequently expired. Based on this, choose a code from V27.0-V27.9.
