@Sara I have mine checked every 2 weeks now (I'm 36 weeks) and I'm at 88,000. To be fair I didn't bounce back into the normal range after my first baby. I had my first at 67,000 and I'm expecting again to be in that range. I'm averaging a drop of 10,000 every 2 weeks. Did you take a D3 pill?
@Katrina Oh wow ya that’s a big drop! But yeah I got checked every 2 weeks as well and then there was a point where they checked me once a week for two weeks, mine did drop on the second check but there was a jump after that and I’m assuming it’s coz of the vitamin D3 my doctor asked me to take those and it helped me! And yes I took D3 pills
I’ve been getting weekly checks since 2/25 and went as low at 85k. I am pleasantly 121k at my latest check. But we did plan for an induction following 4 days of dexamethasone if need be
@Micheala Smith they did mention if I want an epidural I would have to be induced to time the steroids best, but I had steroids last time and only went up 5,000. Which at a final of 67,000 didn't make a difference to me lol. Still far short of 100k. I hope you stay high!
How many weeks are you? My platelet count was low when they tested me around 33 weeks! I ate vitamin D3 everyday apparently it helps with your platelets It went from 127 to 192 when I checked last which was last week I’m now 37 weeks
