I have researched and can’t find a coding clinic or guideline but I keep getting conflicting info. Can Approximately 8 weeks pregnant be coded to 8 weeks and or 1st trimester and same verbiage but approximately 8 weeks pregnant by lmp ? the guideline for uncertain codes doesn’t listed the term approximately so I am not sure if I should be coming 8 weeks or 1st trimester or code them as unknown weeks /trimester ? Thank you
 
The ICD-10 states in Chapter 15

Trimesters are counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. They are defined as follows:

1st trimester-less than 14 weeks 0 days
2nd trimester-14 weeks 0 days to less than 28 weeks 0 days
3rd trimester- 28 weeks 0 days until delivery

Please see this free resource for more info:
