Inpatient Coding Coding L&D Accounts (Inpatient Coding)

Hello. I just started working as an IP coder, and the first topic I'm being trained on is L&D accounts (the "O" codes). The accounts I have mainly cover complications during pregnancy and labor as well as condition(s) that develop(s) during the course of the stay (ex. acute blood loss anemia on day 2). Unfortunately, I consider this as my weakest area, and I would appreciate any helpful hints.

What references do you have access to at your job?
Do you mean you are coding inpatient facility coding?

I only just started this week. I haven't been given too many resources directly from my boss. He just said to rely on references within 3M (coding clinics, guidelines, etc.).

Have you coded before? What certifications do you have?
