When do you use 640.00 (threatened ab unspec.)? What is the differene between 640.00 and 640.03 (threatened ab antepartum)?

Thank you
 
Threaten abortion antepartum 640.03 means the patient has not delivered yet. 640.01 means the patient delivered. 640.00 means that the doctor did not specify in the note or chart whether the patient delivered or didn't.
 
Patient came to Emergency room and dicharged on the same day. Doctor document "Threat ab". Should I code 640.00 or 640.03?

Thank you
