I am now 35 weeks, nearly 36 weeks. Since 8 weeks pregnant I have always had a low platelet count results. The first results were 147, then at 28 weeks they were 127. Iron levels and HB levels have all been fine though.
I was told I also had a low papp a of 0.36 half way through so I was put on aspirin, and I have been having to go for extra growth scans at the hospital.
My blood pressure has always been normal, and even the last BP that was taken was low-ish 95/65.
I have recently had this virus that everyone has been catching recently, but even after I got over that, I've still felt exhausted, like ridiculously exhausted. People have kept telling me, including midwife, that it's normal to become exhausted later on in pregnancy, which I know, but this was stupid! I have kept falling asleep at work, hitting head on desk kind of tired, and literally no energy to do anything whatsoever, No housework, I just want to sleepp all the time.
So I pushed and pushed for the docs to do more bloods. I have been feeling sick and getting a lot of headaches too.
Anyway, I got my results today from the bloods and they have said my platelet count has dropped again to 117 and abnormal liver function has flagged up too.
I am just wondering what all this means and if I should be worried? :/
