hi india 44 just scaning through some of your post/replys and saw that you had to have intragam and steroids during pregnancy due to you having ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura- right?) i was just curious as to how you handled that and if there were any major side affects that you or your bub experienced. Im asking because although i dont have ITP if i get pregnant my bub will have a 80-90% chance of having NAIT or FAMITP (Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia/ feto-maternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia) My DS now 7 months was born with this and his platlette count was 2000- extremely low now in the 200,000, NAIT will correct itself after bub starts to produce their own platlettes, but DS had a bleed in the brain while stil inutero and now has a porencephalic cyst- the intragam should reduce the risk of bleeds reoccuring. the big question is- Is it worth going through all the treatments- weekly injections from 12-16 weeks lasts over a few hours, platlette counts from cord- pretty dangerous, and steroids for lung maturation and elective caesar @34-36 wks? your experience although not the same will be greatly appreciated thanks
