I am sending hl7 fhir bundle message regarding pregnancy information. I encountered some difficulties when presenting some information with hl7 structure.
Ex:
- Pregnancy examination week
- Is it possible to manage maternity information?
- number of antenatal care visits in 3 periods
- number of premature births pregnancy
- number of abortion
- Is the child given vitamin K injections?
It's hard to integrate with hl7 :(( please help me

I used Observation Resource and search any information in LOINC table. I can't find what I need.

Pregnancy examination week would be an encounter. Not sure what's meant by "manage maternity information". # of antenatal visits isn't in LOINC - you'll need to define your own code and/or propose adding it to LOINC. Preterm births is 11637-6. Abortions seems a glaring omission in LOINC. I know this gets asked and tracked in Canada too - strongly suggest proposing it to LOINC. Vitamin K injection would be captured using MedicationAdministration

Possibly better MedicationStatement? Depending on whether you are in the workflow (M.Administration) or doing a report (M.Statement)

Are there any rules for define my own code ? I want other international systems to be easy to understand my own code.
My code is defined in the document or in the hl7 message structure ?
