ICD 10 Failure to Progress. I would use O66.9 for failure to progress and either O62.0 (primary) or O62.1 (secondary) for failure to descend.
You might look at codes 661.01 which is arrest of descent delivered and our OB's use 659.71 for fetal distress or intolerance of labor. The baby's heart tones are monitored during delivery process and if they begin to decelerate that is an indication of too much stress on the baby and a C section is usually performed.

Failed trial of labor, unspecified. O66.40 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM O66.40 became effective on October 1, 2018.
The NCCH will consider improvements to the Alphabetic Index for failure to progress in labour for a future edition of ICD-10-AM. In the absence of documentation of an underlying cause for failure to progress, the correct code to assign is O62. 9 Abnormalities of forces of labour, unspecified.
Primary inadequate contractionsICD-10 code O62. 0 for Primary inadequate contractions is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium .
ICD-10-CM Code for Other abnormalities of breathing R06. 89.
Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
Definition. Failure to progress (FTP) happens when labor slows and delays delivery of the baby. The cervix may not thin and open as it should. This makes it hard for the baby to move down the birth canal. Fetal Descent Stations (Birth Presentation)
There are a number of potential causes of FTP, including (1) uterine contractions that are too weak or too infrequent; (2) the baby is not in the right position or placement (malpresentation, such as breech birth); or (3) the baby cannot fit through the mother's pelvis or its shoulders get stuck (shoulder dystocia).
ICD-10 code R09. 89 for Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes.

ICD-10 code R53. 81 for Other malaise is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
R53. 83 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10-CM Code for Other malaise and fatigue R53. 8.
If there is no indication (or more precisely, no medical indication –“OB going on vacation next week” probably isn’t really a legitimate indication), “O82, Encounter for cesarean delivery without indication” is the code.
There are O codes indicating that a condition in any other body system is impacting the pregnancy. If the rest of Chapter 15 doesn’t have a specific code, numerous “obstetric conditions not elsewhere classified which are complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium” can be found in O94-O9A.
In that case, you only use Z39.0, Encounter for care and examination of mother immediately after delivery, since she didn’t actually deliver during this admission and wasn’t technically pregnant during this admission.
The primary diagnosis (PD) is always an “O” (for obstetrics) code. If she came in for an “unrelated” condition, there should be an O code – as a physician, I cannot recall a single patient who went on to deliver during an admission whose PD was not a complication of (or complicating) the pregnancy.
