Hello dear fellow mamas,
I'm six weeks pregnant and my CbC came back with a high platelet count (620,000). Have any of you had that problem before? My midwife says I need to see a hematologist, and that I have a higher risk of miscarriage. About a year before getting pregnant, routine blood work detected a high platelet count too (840, then 760, then 570, then 450). But because it kept going down steadily, my doctor gave me the OK to get pregnant.
Because it means that I clot easily, I'm also worried that the baby is not getting enough blood to the placenta! This is my second pregnancy and I had no problems with the first. Please tell me if you've had this and what your outcome was, was your baby OK, how you treated it, etc. I really appreciate any help and information you can offer. Thank you so much!!
