This chapter in the ICD-10 classification is dedicated to conditions and complications that can arise during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period (also known as puerperium, the time following delivery). This includes conditions like gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy), pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy), complications during labor and delivery, and postpartum depression. The symptoms and treatments can vary widely, depending on the specific condition. Management often involves a multidisciplinary team, including obstetricians, midwives, and nurses, to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby. Understanding this category is vital for diagnosing, treating, and studying the prevalence of these conditions, all with the aim of promoting safe motherhood and healthy infancy.
