blood platelets

by ohiogirl617, May 26, 2008 10:16PM
i went in for my 28 week blood tests and found out later that my blood platelet levels were a little low at 119. so they took my blood again my next visit and found that they were lower then before at 111. The doctor tells me as of now i have nothing to worry about. everything else is normal. i do not have diabetes, i am not anemic, my protein levels are good,  and my blood pressure is always very normal. despite what the doctor says i can not put my mind to ease. i have read related topics about low blood platelets and they are all making it worst. oh, and my levels were a little lower then the common norm when i got pregnant at 163. what  could cause such a major drop?

i am now 33 weeks and am waiting to go back and get my blood drawn again. does anyone know anything about this? or has gone through something similar?
any info would be appreciated
