Low Platelets

I'm not sure what I'm looking for, really; advice, support, or just knowledge, I suppose. Either way I'm bricking it!

I'm 36 weeks and got really low Platelets (c.55). They reckon I have ITP. I've been put on steroids for a week to try and boost them, but if they don't work I'll have to discuss early induction so they don't drop too low for birth.

My birth plan has already had to change completely and may do again. I don't know how long to expect being in hospital after I've given birth or anything, so no idea what/how much to pack.

Hi, sorry I don’t have any advise but I’ve too been told I have very low platelets varying between 40-75. Such a worrying time.

Wishing you all the best
