An important part of the visit antenatal clinic for expectant mothers is a blood test, and the platelet rate during pregnancy is considered one of the main indicators of this laboratory test.
It is important to monitor the level of platelet cells, since they are responsible for normal blood clotting.
Platelets are colorless blood cells whose main function is blood clotting.
The mechanism is as follows: when a vessel is damaged and a traumatic lumen is formed, platelets combine with collagen cells.
As a result, a thrombus is formed that can close the lumen and stop bleeding. This process not only prevents massive blood loss, but also accelerates wound healing.
Platelets are formed from the giant cells of the red bone marrow - megakaryocytes. The liver, kidneys and skeletal muscles are responsible for the number of cells, which are also called platelets, because it is in these organs that the hormone thrombopoietin is formed.
The life cycle of a platelet cell is 9-11 days, after which the spent platelets are processed by the spleen.
The number of platelets in the blood is not constant, it can vary depending on many external ( physical exercise, stress, trauma) and internal factors.
The latter, in particular, include such natural conditions for a woman as menstruation and pregnancy.
The general norm of platelets for all adults is from 180 to 320 billion / l. However, depending on gender and age, the boundaries of the norm expand or narrow.
So, for a woman, the scope of the normal content of platelets is wider than for men, and ranges from 150 to 380 billion / l.
This is due to periodic menstrual bleeding, during which the number of platelets can be greatly reduced.
A decrease in the number of platelets triggers the production of thrombopoietin in the internal organs, after which the number of platelets increases and can increase dramatically.
Gradually, the number of cells returns to normal, such a fluctuation is a normal process for women, the main thing is that the number of platelets does not go beyond the norm.
However, pregnancy makes its own adjustments to the composition of the blood flow. The formation of the placental circle of blood supply involves an increase in the total volume of blood contained in the body.
At the same time, the number of platelets can either decrease (if the red bone marrow cannot quickly produce new cells in sufficient quantities) or increase sharply (due to a hormonal surge of the hormone thrombopoietin).
During pregnancy, the platelet rate is the widest. The lower threshold for the content of platelets in pregnant women is 140 billion / l, the upper - 340 billion / l.
Platelets during pregnancy change their number in the blood and depending on how long the woman is.
The first and second trimesters are characterized by an unstable number of platelets in the bloodstream: hormonal changes contributes to a constant change in the level of production of cells in the body.
The third trimester is the period of bearing a child, when the platelet count is the lowest.
As the end of the gestation period approaches, there are more and more platelets, so the body prepares for childbirth, normalizing blood flow to prevent severe bleeding.
IN postpartum period the hormonal activity of the liver and kidneys in the production of thrombopoietin increases to the maximum, and therefore the number of platelets becomes very high.
Thus, blood coagulability increases, abundant postpartum bleeding is prevented.
As you recover female body after childbirth, the number of platelets also normalizes.
The dependence of the platelet count in the blood on the trimester of pregnancy can be seen in the table (the number of platelets is indicated in billion / l)
| No. p / p | Pregnancy period | Minimum content | Maximum content |
| 1. | 1 trimester | 170 | 340 |
| 2. | 2 trimester | 160 | 330 |
| 3. | 3rd trimester | 140 | 320 |
Preparation for the delivery of the analysis
The number of platelets in the blood can only be determined by laboratory testing.
Only after studying the biological material, in this case - blood, can we talk about a reduced or increased content of platelets in the bloodstream of a pregnant woman.
Pregnant women who are registered in the antenatal clinic, constantly visiting the doctor, monthly receive a referral for delivery general analysis blood, which helps to identify the main indicators of the composition of the blood flow, including the level of platelets.
There are situations when the indicators of the general analysis are normal, however concomitant symptoms indicate poor blood clotting or, conversely, a tendency to form blood clots.
In this case, a woman can additionally be sent for a coagulogram. This study allows you to determine the level of platelet aggregation, that is, their ability to combine with collagen to form blood clots.
There are norms according to which the aggregation level of platelets should be from 30 to 60%.
If the indicator is lower, then the risk of bleeding increases, if it is higher, then uncontrolled formation of blood clots is possible.
To properly take a blood test and get reliable results, for a laboratory study you need to carefully prepare.
The general requirement for taking blood tests is that the sampling of biological material should be carried out on an empty stomach of the patient so that food does not affect the composition of the bloodstream.
Before the analysis, you should stop taking medications for 1-2 days, which can affect the number of platelets.
If such drug therapy is necessary to maintain the viability of the pregnant woman or the fetus, then before the analysis, you should consult with the gynecologist who manages the pregnancy.
In order for the result of the analysis that detects the number of platelets to be as objective as possible, blood sampling should be abandoned if an injury with blood loss, extensive burns or bleeding has occurred less than 3 days before the laboratory test.
Such conditions contribute to the activation of protective mechanisms in the body of a pregnant woman, the number of platelets can increase sharply for a short time, which will affect the accuracy of the study.
Decreased platelet count
A decrease in the number of platelets in the blood below 140 billion / l is called thrombocytopenia. This is a pathological condition that carries great threats to the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus.
Thrombocytopenia that has not been detected in time and has not been treated can lead to:
- hypoxia (decrease in oxygen saturation of the placenta and fetus with oxygen);
- miscarriage in the 1st trimester;
- delayed fetal development in the 2nd trimester;
- premature birth in the 3rd trimester;
- massive bleeding during delivery and in the postpartum period.
You can notice the lack of platelets in the blood by some outward signs. The existence of such obvious symptoms speaks of a critically low level of blood platelets and requires immediate contact with a specialist.
TO objective signs thrombocytopenia can be attributed to the frequent occurrence of hematomas with minor injuries, bleeding in the mouth, nosebleeds.
If even with small wounds it is difficult to stop the blood, the feces have acquired an uncharacteristic dark color, present bleeding from the genital tract, a rash appeared on the skin in the form of small subcutaneous hemorrhages, then, most likely, general level platelets are greatly reduced.
This is not a reason to start self-treatment, but a reason to immediately go for a consultation with a specialist.
Only after laboratory tests have been carried out, the doctor will be able to identify the cause of thrombocytopenia and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Among the diseases that contribute to a decrease in the level of platelets, the most common are viral infections, allergies, vitamin deficiency, abnormal work thyroid gland, flaw folic acid taking certain medications. The most difficult cause is considered to be oncology.
The treatment prescribed depending on the cause that led to this condition is not aimed at increasing the number of platelets, but at eliminating the disease that lowered the level of platelets.
Elevated levels of platelet cells
Thrombocytosis is diagnosed in pregnant women when the platelet count reaches 400 billion/l.
Despite the fact that the upper limit of the norm is below this number, the disease state is fixed only when it is strongly exceeded.
This is due to the fact that a slight excess of the norm is a natural state for the body of pregnant women.
By increasing the number of platelets, the body prepares for delivery, reduces the likelihood of massive blood loss.
But the state when the number of platelets is more than 400 billion / l can be called pathological.
In this case, the adhesion of platelets to collagen occurs uncontrollably, which can lead to the formation of large blood clots and blockage of blood vessels.
Thrombocytosis in pregnant women threatens both the life of the fetus and the health of the mother.
The pathological condition can lead to:
- miscarriage in the 1st trimester;
- delayed fetal development in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters;
- varicose veins in the mother;
- heart attack or stroke.
External manifestations of thrombocytosis largely coincide with the symptoms of thrombocytopenia. The point is that, despite different reason pathological condition, its main manifestation will be common: uneven distribution of blood cells in the vessels.
This leads to the appearance of unreasonable bruises, bleeding of the oral and nasal cavities, and incessant bleeding.
In addition, thrombocytosis manifests itself in the form of shortness of breath, headache, pressure surges, numbness of the limbs, pallor of the skin.
Infectious and inflammatory diseases, iron deficiency, extensive blood loss, drinking disorders, and oncology lead to thrombocytosis.
The number of platelets in the blood of a pregnant woman must be monitored in order to avoid pathological conditions that threaten the mother's body and the fetus.
The expectant mother should regularly take tests. One of the most important is the general analysis of the blood fluid. It determines deviations and diseases that threaten the life of the patient and her baby. The level of formed blood elements is informative. Platelets during pregnancy should be normal: this is a guarantee of successful gestation. Decreased/increased rates require adjustment.
It is important to donate blood fluid for analysis in a timely manner
Platelets are shaped blood cells. The bone marrow is responsible for their appearance. In medicine, these cells are also called blood plates. And all because they are non-nuclear. The circulation of platelets in the blood occurs from five to eleven days. After this time, the cells are destroyed. Their place is taken by new plates.
Although platelets are small cells, they have a huge role to play: they are responsible for the clotting of blood fluid. Damage to blood vessels as a result of trauma always leads to bleeding. It is stopped by platelets: they stick together with each other and, in this form, settle at the site of damage. The cells form a clot that stops the bleeding. If the clotting system did not exist, even a minor injury would lead to a fatal outcome due to blood loss.
Shaped cells perform a protective function. They create a barrier that prevents harmful bacteria from entering the body. Cells are an important immune unit. They participate in the process of nutrition of the vascular wall, contribute to its regeneration. The plates stimulate the growth and division of the endothelium, due to which the wounds heal.
Norm in expectant mothers
Pregnant women regularly take clinical analysis blood. Among other indicators of the blood fluid in the laboratory, the level of platelets is also determined. Expectant mothers have fewer blood cells than non-pregnant women. This is due to the natural increase in blood volume due to the emergence of new life inside.
During the gestation period, the number of platelets changes, and the norm during pregnancy is determined by trimesters. By the end of the period, there is a decrease in the level of blood plates. The longer delivery does not occur, the lower the platelet count. A few days before birth, the bone marrow produces a large number of blood cells. This is necessary to avoid significant blood loss during and after childbirth. The blood of the woman in labor quickly coagulates, so that the recovery process is not delayed. Gradually, blood composition and platelet levels return to pre-pregnancy levels.
The table will help you figure out what the platelet rate should be during pregnancy in each trimester. Deviations from the norm are no reason to panic. Only a doctor will be able to decipher the tests and determine whether the discrepancy is acceptable or needs to be corrected.
| Non-pregnant | 1st trimester | 2nd trimester | 3rd trimester |
|---|---|---|---|
| 180 – 400 | 170 – 340 | 160 – 330 | 140 – 320 |
The level of platelets during pregnancy sometimes does not make it possible to track the pathology, therefore, an additional blood coagulogram is performed. Here, it is not the level of cells that is informative, but the percentage of their production. The norm is considered to be 30 - 60%.
Downgrade: reasons
A significant decrease in platelets in the blood is called thrombocytopenia. This condition is dangerous for the patient and her baby. The development of thrombocytopenia can provoke such diseases and conditions:
- viral infections;
- allergy;
- avitaminosis;
- anemia;
- oncology;
- chronic hepatitis;
- impaired renal function;
- malfunction of the thyroid gland;
- bleeding.
Some drugs can change the composition of the blood. After taking them, the level of blood plates drops. Expectant mothers are strictly forbidden to take any medication without first consulting a doctor.
Primary Symptoms
To determine the pathological decrease in platelets in the blood is possible only with the help of tests. But the expectant mother can suspect such a condition by the primary symptoms. Thrombocytopenia is indicated by:
- bruises on the body, arising from even slight pressure;
- bleeding gums;
- rash on the body;
- frequent nosebleeds;
- dark feces;
- long bleeding and poorly healing wounds.
The presence of at least one symptom should alert the expectant mother and force her to consult a doctor. The doctor will prescribe diagnostic measures, which will help determine whether there are really few platelets in the blood, and find the cause of this phenomenon.
Possible Complications
If a low level of platelets is recorded, then pregnant women may experience problems during delivery. An insufficient number of cells affects blood clotting, which threatens with significant blood loss during childbirth. Thrombocytopenia can cause:
- violation of the development of the child;
- fetal hypoxia;
- miscarriage;
- premature birth;
- severe bleeding during and after delivery.
Given the serious consequences of a significant decrease in platelets, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner and begin to correct the condition. A successful outcome of pregnancy depends on this.
Treatment
Positive emotions are the best therapy for mom and baby
Since thrombocytopenia can occur for a number of reasons, treatment is also selected individually. A hematologist is engaged in correcting the platelet level. After studying the patient's history and test results, he selects drugs that will help bring blood cells back to normal.
It is impossible to solve the problem without treating the condition that provoked the decrease in the level of plates. If the problem is the result incorrect operation internal organs or arose against the background of an infection, then the treatment will be aimed at eliminating these problems. Therapy of diseases in pregnant women should be carried out taking into account the "interesting" situation. This is the difficulty: it is not always possible to find drugs fast action so as not to harm the baby.
If the deviation from the norm is the result of beriberi or anemia, then a special diet is sufficient to correct the condition. The doctor will develop a nutrition system aimed at replenishing vitamins and trace elements.
The most difficult thing to deal with is an autoimmune problem. In this case, the body destroys old blood cells and prevents new ones from being produced. Salvation will be a comprehensive treatment, including special diet, the use of corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, angioprotectors. If all else fails, they turn to a blood transfusion.
What is the danger of increasing platelets
If platelets are elevated during pregnancy, then the likelihood of blood clots is high. When there are a lot of cells, they stick together, which provokes thrombosis. An increase in the level of platelets is called thrombocytosis. Overestimated rates are considered the norm only a few days before childbirth. This is how the body prepares for childbirth: high level cells ensures rapid blood clotting and prevents bleeding.
In the first trimester, thrombocytosis threatens with a miscarriage, in the subsequent ones it provokes a violation of the development of the fetus. This condition is also dangerous for the life of the mother: it leads to the development of vascular diseases, increases the likelihood of heart attack and stroke.
Causes, symptoms, treatment
Thrombocytosis occurs with hereditary diseases, immune pathologies, impaired bone marrow function. As a rule, such problems are known even before the onset of pregnancy. During the period of bearing a baby, an increase in the level of platelets can provoke:
- infectious diseases;
- inflammatory processes;
- severe toxicosis;
- taking medications that thicken the blood;
- iron deficiency;
- inadequate water intake.
Symptoms of high and reduced level platelets are the same, since both conditions affect the work of blood vessels. With thrombocytosis, headaches are sometimes still disturbing, pressure jumps are observed, and the fingertips go numb.
Treatment for thrombocytosis involves taking blood thinners. Medicines the doctor prescribes, taking into account the patient's health status and the risks to the fetus. An important part therapy - a diet that includes foods that lower platelets and excludes those that increase the number of platelets. The diet is developed by the doctor. It also determines the duration of the special meal. To reduce the number of blood cells, it is important to establish a drinking regimen.
Any deviation from the norm in the hematopoietic system of a pregnant woman is dangerous. In order not to miss the problem, you need to take scheduled tests in a timely manner and listen to the signals of your body. Adjust platelet levels with diet, pills and folk remedies without prior consultation with a doctor is strictly prohibited - you can harm yourself and your baby.
Platelets (PLT) are the smallest blood cells produced in the bone marrow. They are involved in the process of blood clotting. About 40% of circulating platelets are destroyed daily due to the continuous clotting process in the body. The life span of platelets is short and is only 7-10 days.
The norm of platelets during pregnancy
The number of platelets during pregnancy practically does not change. The range of normal platelet count in non-pregnant women is 180-320 x 10 9 /L. ( Guidelines. Hematological analyzers. Interpretation of a blood test "(approved by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation on March 21, 2007 No. 2050-РХ). According to some laboratories, the platelet norm is 150-400 × 10 9 /l. However, in pregnant women, the level of platelets is normal, on average, may be somewhat lower. Platelet counts during pregnancy by trimester can be checked in the calculator.
Decreased platelet count
platelet count during pregnancy may decrease slightly(moderate thrombocytopenia). The decrease in their number may be associated with a decrease in their life expectancy and increased consumption in the peripheral circulation. Significant change in platelet count normal pregnancy does not occur, but it is always observed during pregnancy complicated by fetal growth retardation. Significantly shortens the period of life of platelets in preeclampsia.
Also, platelets decrease with anemia (lack of vitamin B12 and folic acid in the body), after a bacterial or viral infection.
Low platelets during pregnancy can lead to bleeding, including during childbirth with any method of delivery - natural childbirth or by caesarean section.
If platelets during pregnancy are found in an amount of less than 100 × 10 9 / l, then this condition is already considered pathological and a pregnant woman is diagnosed thrombocytopenia.
If PLT is less than 100 × 10 9 /l, then this is an absolute contraindication for the use of regional (spinal or epidural) anesthesia in childbirth.
Increased platelet count during pregnancy
Increase in platelet count (thrombocytosis) leads to the formation of blood clots (thrombi), which can block (clog) blood vessels. Thrombocytosis can be either primary (blood disease) or secondary, occurring against the background of any disease.
For elevated platelets during pregnancy, the doctor usually prescribes expectant mother blood thinners such as chimes.
During the period of expectation of a child, you pass a lot of tests. This is necessary to assess the condition of the body and detect the problem in time.
A blood test for platelets is of no small importance. Abnormal platelet counts during pregnancy can be dangerous for you and your baby.
The role of platelets in the body
Platelets are platelets that prevent blood loss by replacing the damaged area first with a temporary and then with a permanent platelet film.
- from time of day;
- from the season;
- in women - from the phase of the menstrual cycle;
- from various diseases and pathological processes occurring in the body.
Both high and low platelet counts during pregnancy can be life threatening for the woman and the baby. However, not only the quantitative indicator is important, but also the functionality of the plates.
Norms during pregnancy
Separately, the analysis for the index of platelets does not give up. A complete blood count is usually ordered.
- The normal rate for healthy person- 180-420 * 10 9 platelets per liter;
During pregnancy, the number of platelets decreases. This is due to the fact that the amount of blood increases and the placental circle of blood circulation appears.
- During pregnancy, the rate of platelets in the blood is 140-340 * 10 9 / l. Deviations from the norm in the direction of decrease is called - thrombocytopenia, and in the direction of increase - thrombocytosis;
- The indicator depends on the trimester of pregnancy. In the first months, the allowable limits are 170-340 * 10 9 / l .;
- The rate of platelets during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester is from 160 to 330 * 10 9 / l .;
- For more later dates- 140-320 * 10 9 / l.
Platelet counts return to normal after childbirth, when the body recovers.
Analysis indicators are below normal
The lowest platelets during pregnancy in the third trimester. Also during this period, an increase in the ability of the plates to bind to each other and participate in aggregation is characteristic.
This helps to avoid large blood loss during childbirth.
Thrombocytopenia occurs when the platelet content in the blood falls below the normal limit (140*10 9 /l). This happens for various reasons:
- in case of intoxication or viral infections;
- with a deficiency of vitamins and minerals;
- severe course of late pregnancy;
- with problems with hormones;
- due to bleeding (including internal);
- with violations of the kidneys;
- with oncology;
- with some chronic diseases(for example, with hepatitis).
Reducing platelets below normal can be affected by the intake of certain medicines.
Important! To increase blood clotting, it is necessary to include in the diet: beets, sesame oil, iron-rich foods (buckwheat, liver, beef), fish, nuts, eggs, dairy products.
Symptoms of thrombocytopenia may include:
- hematomas;
- persistent nosebleeds (read on the topic: Nosebleeds during pregnancy >>>);
- bleeding gums;
- in case of cuts or wounds, the blood does not stop for a long time;
- dark stools may indicate internal bleeding.
A decrease in platelets below normal during pregnancy in women is considered as dangerous state for natural childbirth.
In my second pregnancy, I had to face such a diagnosis as thrombocytopenia. All platelet counts were below normal.
I was going to be at home until the last moment, together with the midwife, and to come to the maternity hospital in full disclosure in order to avoid unnecessary interventions in the course of childbirth.
But such analyzes forced us to consider the option of an early arrival at the maternity hospital, since with low platelets there is a risk of birth bleeding, placental abruption.
Throughout the second half of my pregnancy, my midwife analyzed my diet very carefully, we tried to raise platelets in natural ways.
I looked through tons of articles on the Internet, but they were all copied as if they were carbon copies and did not give any real ways increase platelets.
I must say that before pregnancy I never had any signs of thrombocytopenia, and in the first pregnancy, the tests were always good.
And so, when I already began to get completely upset and think about bad options during childbirth, I took regular blood tests and during blood donation I complained to the nurse taking the test about my results.
And she told me the following: “You always take tests in our laboratory, and in most paid clinics, tests are done using a hardware method. Those. scores are automatically calculated. Take the test in another hospital, or even better, retake it in a regular, free clinic, where blood counts are counted with the eyes.
I grabbed this idea like a straw.
I passed the analysis in a free clinic and got the result in accordance with the norms. Platelets were fine.
Then, while studying how blood tests are done, I read that proper equipment maintenance is important to get good results.
Important! The plates should be changed and cleaned once every 3 months, otherwise the sensitivity of the devices will be lost.
Naturally, no one cleans so often and violations may appear in the test results.
Therefore, always, getting a not very good test result during pregnancy, do not rush to undergo treatment or agree to interventions in the course of childbirth.
Indicators above the norm
With elevated platelets during pregnancy, the risk of blood clots is high. thrombocytosis on early dates may be due to toxicity. In the second and third trimesters, the reasons for the increase may be:
- Insufficient drinking. Fearing edema, you can limit the amount of fluid you drink. Or this is possible in the summer, when sweating is increased due to the heat. Read more about edema during pregnancy >>>;
- Viral, infectious diseases. Also cause high performance there may be fungal infections;
- Oncological diseases are common cause thick blood. Especially if the oncological process is associated with the hematopoietic system;
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- Anemia. The platelet count is affected by anemia caused by iron deficiency. Read more about this in the article Anemia during pregnancy >>>;
- Some medicines.
Symptoms of thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia are similar, as the functioning of blood cells is impaired. Signs of thrombocytosis:
- hematomas;
- bleeding gums;
- pallor of the skin and mucous membranes;
- numbness of the extremities (read: Hands and feet go numb during pregnancy >>>);
- pressure problems;
- dyspnea.
To normalize the indicators, the doctor will prescribe drugs that thin the blood and diet. Foods that help with thrombocytosis:
- vegetable oil;
- tomato juice;
- garlic and onions;
- green vegetables;
- sour berries and fruits;
- kefir;
- cottage cheese;
- seafood (how much can you eat so as not to harm? Read the article Fish and seafood during pregnancy >>>).
Foods that tend to thicken the blood should be excluded from the diet. These include: bananas, nuts, mountain ash, wild rose, pomegranate juice.
Consequences and possible complications
Deviations from the norm can be dangerous not only for the mother, but also for the child. In the early stages, there may be a miscarriage, and in the later stages, deviations in the development of the baby.
Consequences of thrombocytosis:
- delayed fetal development (learn how development normally takes place in the article Development of a child in the womb >>>);
- severe toxicosis;
- problems with veins (varicose veins);
- heart attack, embolism;
- high risk of thrombus formation.
Consequences of thrombocytopenia:
- high risk of bleeding;
- the threat of miscarriage in the early stages or premature birth, with a deviation from the norm of platelets in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Prevention of thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia
To keep the analyzes normal, you should adhere to the following rules:
- adjust the diet and drinking regimen;
- maintain an active lifestyle;
- refuse certain medications.
Take care of yourself and have a healthy pregnancy!
Statistics show that most women have a decrease in platelets during pregnancy, compared with data taken before pregnancy.
This is due to the fact that the volume of circulating blood increases, as well as its consumption.
Another feature characteristic of those who have low platelets during pregnancy is a contraindication to the use of epidural or spinal anesthesia.
But you should not worry too much about this: many experts categorically do not advise to anesthetize the birth process, because then the woman in labor does not feel the period of attempts.
in pregnant women and methods of treatment
You can determine the number of platelets during pregnancy using a complete blood count.
If deviations from the norm are detected, it is proposed to conduct additional studies in order to establish an accurate diagnosis:
- Coagulogram.
- Collection of anamnesis.
- Other tests to exclude diseases that provoke secondary thrombocytopenia.
Treatment should be prescribed by a qualified specialist!
The observing gynecologist issues a referral to a hematologist, who selects the treatment based on the test protocol and individual features pregnant woman.
Basically, it is taking certain medications.
Do not self-medicate, especially during pregnancy.
Prevention of thrombocytopenia folk remedies
You can increase the low level of platelets during pregnancy by using herbal infusions (rose hips, fluffy astragalus), which help strengthen the vascular wall.
It also helps to increase the intake of foods rich in vitamin C ( bell pepper, apples, black currants, raspberries, cabbage, citrus fruits).
Meat, fish, vitamin B12 are sources of zinc that are especially necessary for women during pregnancy, not only increasing the level of platelets in the blood, but also excluding the possibility of pathologies in the development of the fetus.
Do not eat foods containing preservatives and acetic acid.
Experts say that the normalization of the nutrition of a pregnant woman allows you to correct the low level of platelets during pregnancy without resorting to increased use of drugs. Naturally, if the condition of a pregnant woman is not assessed as critical.
Conclusion
Low platelets during pregnancy are not a serious complication for a woman and a baby.
Regular follow-up with an obstetrician-gynecologist, blood tests, proper nutrition, healthy lifestyle life, the implementation of the doctor's recommendations can quickly normalize the level of platelets during pregnancy.
