Michelle, the example that you raised of having two tonsils, one with a stitch, isn't quite the same as your problem. The two tonsils would otherwise not be identifiable as left or right. That is not a problem with a fetus and a placenta. Each is separately identifiable and each should be coded separately. You will simplify any coding review if each is a separate line on your report.
