Question

Hey ladies! jw if anyone else deals with a lower platelet count.  Mine normally runs on the lower side, and my hematologist says it's prob itp during pregnancy.  She isn't concerned but wants to keep me tracked.  Jw if anyone else has experienced this?

Answer

I normally have a low platelet count that gets aggravated by pregnancy. Bruise easily and have problems clotting. They just called it idiopathic  thrombocytopenia purpura, or ITP for short. I'm not a candidate for c-section unless it's an extreme emergency and unless my platelets go at least 75k they refuse the epidural. Mine I've had since I was 13.
