Low platelets?

Question

Anyone else with low platelets?  This is my third pregnancy with them being low and will most likely have to schedule an induction so they can build up my levels then induce me to make sure I can get an epidural ( yes I want an epidural)...was really hoping they wouldn't drop again this time.

Answer

This is my second pregnancy and my second time having low platelets and they want to put me on steroids again but I'm going to try to cure them naturally! With doses of vitamin C and B12 having a lot of antioxidants and green and red veggies and fruits help platelets go up! My platelets got as low as 10,000 last time! And they had to hospitalize me for a while! I'm only 20 weeks right now so I'm going to try this out and see if it works! I don't like taking steroids!! My platelets are 60,000 right now!

I have low platelets, too. This is my first pregnancy so I don't really know what that means. What did they do for you and did you get induced each time? They haven't said anything about inducing me, just that they would check the levels later in the pregnancy. Any info you have would be much appreciated!
