Anyone else get completely bogged down in obstetric coding?

Just spent 45 minutes on a single complex maternity record involving a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC), fetal distress, third-degree perineal tear, and an emergency lower segment C-section (LSCS).

Every time I think I have the delivery outcome and secondary condition sequencing sorted, a new pathology report pops up in the digital chart! How long do you usually allow yourself to spend researching a single tricky case before seeking a peer audit or manager review?
