20 week pregnant pt delivers in the ER and the baby is deceased. What would be appropriate diagnosis codes for the delivery?

Thanks for any help.
 
If the patient spontaneously delivered in the ED, I would use 634.92. (miscarriage)

If the patient was in labor in the ED and your physician was in attendance for the delivery, you might use the following:-
644.21
658.11
V27.21

At 20 weeks a fetal demise could be considered a stillbirth.
