kindly note one thing, when you frame the ICP 10 PCS code you should take into account that all the major terms can be put together to get the code. You have to break the main terms separately to frame the code. For example in question 2 you have mentioned "midline episiotomy" , for preparation of birth can be framed as a whole. Key terms will be taken into account while framing. For accurate information please go through the ICO 10 PCS coding guideline.
