I'm 12 weeks now. I have a scan booked for tomorrow morning & I'm excited but also very nervous. I hope it's all ok.
My platelet count is down from 105 to 67 but I'm still happy with that. & I meet my high risk ob on Wednesday. I was referred after a midwife called to "calmly" let me know that my platelets were "only" 67. Imagine her surprise when I was really pleased with that lol!
Has anyone else felt ill in pregnancy? I haven't had so much as a sniffle since my itp diagnosis. But, since falling pregnant I've had three colds, one bout of flu, multiple cold sores and a small cut on my finger went red & a bit infected. I'm not complaining - would rather be ill with slightly better counts, but is anyone else having this??

Katsim wrote: 37-42 weeks are considered full term so I can understand why they might think like that. If your counts fluctuate they will have control over inducing you when they are high - rather than hoping they're high when you naturally go into labour.
I'm trying to keep a really open mind about giving birth. I'm hoping for an epidural following a natural start to contractions. BUT if I'm told I can only have an epidural if they induce me when my counts are good - I'll take that!! Do you have a birth plan? Or any thoughts about what you'd like?
