Yes its all new to me, doc keeps saying no epidural if mine drops below 100,000. Last CBC had me at 125,000 so im praying they stay firm or increase would be wonderful! This Momma is not interesting in a natural birth!!! Baby #3 needs to come like his sisters 😜 I go in tomorrow to see how things are going! I hope y’alls platelets increase soon 🍀🤞🏽🍀
@itty_bitty, compared to y’all its not that low, but she has me frightened. My doc said your blood doesn’t clot well below 100 so anesthesiologists wont administer epis
@hollyn216, @itty_bitty, my doctor said there isn’t anything you can eat to increase them but I’ve read that there’s certain iron rich foods that help. So, I’m going to try eating all that stuff before my appt with the hemotologist next week.

@itty_bitty, what are they doing for you? My ob wants me to see a hemotologist.
M·
@itty_bitty, mine were at 95 a month ago and then she rechecked this past week and they were at 89.

@itty_bitty, what do they do when you go. Lol I’m super nervous.

@hollyn216, @itty_bitty, I have heard that every hospital is different on what their cut off is. I’ve heard 100, 75 some are even as low as 50.

@mrs.a, I was told the same about the food but I’ve been trying to drink more vitamin C & eat more fish etc. Can’t hurt to try right!!
M·
@hollyn216, yes, eating healthy can’t hurt! I also read lots of greens like broccoli, spinach, etc. and lentils!
