Good luck with your appointment Laurziee. I hope your doctors find that it is one of those funny weird pregnancy things and nothing more.

Ladybirdflies - what a scary time you had with your daughter. Did they ever find a reason? Is she okay now?

My understanding is that babies born to mothers with gestational thrombocytopenia have no increased risk of being thrombocytopenic themselves. Babies with low platelets are born to mothers with normal platelet counts at the same rate as to mothers with gestational thrombocytopenia. At least that is what I was told.

There of course many different types and causes of thrombocytopenia which can affect mother or baby so I sure the doctors will be on top of what is needed.

Best of luck.
