Diagnosis for History of Pre-eclampsia, previous pregnancy

The perinatal center is recommending that we perform 24-hour urine tests on current OB patients with a history of pre-eclampsia in a previous pregnancy. After combing the book and looking online, I have come to the conclusion that the diagnosis code we will have to use is V23.49 [Poor obstetrical history]. Can someone confirm this for me? Am I missing a better (more specific) diagnosis?

Thanks for any help.
 
Have you tried V13.29, if it's valid per documentation? I see that this was started in April, may I ask if this has been resolved?
