[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard of testing platelet count. I had twins at 38 years old. I went full term and I don’t recall anyone testing my blood besides the 12 week blood draw and GD screen. I did get stress tests starting at 37 weeks. I’m pregnant again at 42. Due in a month. Should my OB be checking my platelets? [/quote] It's part of the routine blood tests that they take. I think the volume of blood in your body increases so ideally the numbers go up, if they go down then they screen you further. Couldn't hurt to ask your doctor but you're probably fine if they haven't mentioned it, they likely didn't find anything wrong in your normal tests.[/quote]
