Im 37+3 and due to have a c-section in 12 days. My platlets have been dropping throughout pregnancy and have had phonecall to say they are now 100 and if they drop lower then ill be unable to have epidural! Im soo upset at the thought of having to have a GA, i really want to avoid it but it seems likely they will continue to drop as they've done so every wk. Im due to get bloods redone on monday (1 wk b4 planned CS) and then see consultation about what happens next. Would hope they would consider bringing it forward. Has anyone had any experiance of this?
Also having CS due to horrific Shoulder Dystocia 4 yrs ago and the docs and i are in agreement that this is the safest delievry option.
