My recent blood report showed my platelets are on the lower side and doc has asked me to monitor it. Im in 7th month. Bit worried, did anyone go through this and what helped? mainly asking about food and care.
My doctor said a mild dip in platelets is common in pregnancy and often doesnt need anything. But if it drops a lot they investigate the cause and decide treatment. She told me not to self medicate and just follow up with blood tests.
Some people have papaya leaf juice but honestly during pregnancy I would not take anything like that without the doctor approving. Eat iron and folate rich food, but a low count needs medical attention. Please get it checked properly.
Low platelets in pregnancy can be serious so please dont try to fix it only with home remedies. My doctor monitored mine closely with repeat tests. Follow your gynac on this, it needs proper tracking.
