If you wanted an epidural for pain management they might not be able to give it to you depending on how low they are. Do you know what they are at?  Typically platelets will just improve over time, but the drs would have to watch for excessive bleeding since platelets help you clot. If platelets are extremely low they can doa transfusion with platelets but I have only seen this done if they are less than 30.

My son was born with low platlets. They couldn't figure out why he had a fever when he was born.. He was in the nicu for a week,before they figured out it had to do with my rh factor versus the fathers rh factor. He grew out of it after 6 months or so but couldnt be circumcised til he was a year old because of this. I actually didnt have any issues with my blood but he did.
