Low Blood Platelet Count Posted: 10-12-07 21:12pm


Just had a quick question. When I had my glucose test at 28 weeks, the results came back that I had a low blood platelet count. My doctor told me that the count went from 180 at the beginning of pregnancy to 102. They tested my blood again at 31 weeks, but I have to wait until my appointment this week to find out if they dropped any lower. Should I be concerned if it's at this level when I give birth or is it nothing to be concerned about? Also, if it does drop lower than 102, will they have to do anything differently during my delivery? Thanks!
