Cesarean delivery has become a commonly used measure for delivery of the fetus. In the recent years incidence of Cesarean section (CS) has increased dramatically with massive pubic interest. It is called Primary Cesarean section when it is performed for the first time on a pregnant woman.
Extraperitoneal CS is a method of surgically delivering a baby through an incision in the lower uterine segment without entering the peritoneal cavity, given keeping the peritoneal cavity intact reduces the risk of adhesions, postoperative ileus, and future infertility related to surgery [20].
Each repeat C-section is generally more complicated than the last. However, research hasn't established the exact number of repeat C-sections considered safe. Women who have multiple repeat cesarean deliveries are at increased risk of: Problems with the placenta.
In spite of the fact that most societies still recommend deferring scheduling elective repeat cesarean deliveries (ERCDs) till 39 weeks, unless clinically indicated, some providers are actually practicing earlier timing of delivery such as at 37 or 38 weeks.
“So, every patient is different and every case is unique. However, from the current medical evidence, most medical authorities do state that if multiple C-sections are planned, the expert recommendation is to adhere to the maximum number of three.”

You should encourage your providers to be exact and describe the scar with specificity:
O34.21- can be used for both the antepartum and postpartum care of the mother. If the patient has a scar that is causing an obstruction or care beyond that is considered to be normal, the visit generally would not be considered “routine;” therefore, I recommend not coding O34.21- with Z34.- normal pregnancy. If the care rendered is routine, and the ...
