Thanks to the forum and it's members for providing wealth of information.
First pregancy:
- Found for the first time, ITP around 30th week of pregnancy
- Because of religious beliefs, I cannot accept iVig and platelet transfusion
- During labor, count was 50K and was able to deliver natuarlly
- Platelet never returned to normal. Fluctuated between 50k to 100k
- Baby is healthy, and wonderful
- Seen by hematologist. Found nothing. He suggested that it should not stop for trying to have second baby. So we tried.
Second Pregancy with Twins:
- TWINS!! Good news turned out to be a concern as count is at 60k around 10th week
- Because of religious beliefs, I cannot accept iVig and platelet transfusion
- With twins, OB said the risk is double
- Started researching to see natural ways or alternative methods to boost or at least maintain around 70k of count
- Started taking a glass of green leafy vegetable juice along with beets and carrot every day. Not sure if it would help but something to try.
Note: Please don't judge me because of my religious beliefs. This is personal, and well-thought made decision as directed by my conscience.
Questions:
- This forum has a lot of positive results when probiotics were taken. Did anyone who is pregnant here has a story with probiotics and ITP?
- Since I cannot accept iVig, would C-Section, if needed with twins, what can be the lowest count from experiences that I can go and be still safe
- From experiences, are there any other natural methods that were successfully tried?
Thanks for taking time to read.
