Montgomery, MD: "Re: ITP/Vaginal delivery" I have ITP, and had a spleenectomy in 1987. I had my first appt with the perinatal doc yesterday, and her take was that a vaginal birth is the current delivery method of choice (my platelet count is normal), though years ago, C-sections were common. I'm interested in hearing about the pros and cons. I fear that the baby will have a low count from getting my antibodies and will be traumatized in the birth canal (she did say it would be a no forceps delivery). I've had 4 abdominal surgeries, and she thinks its better all around to avoid another surgery. She did say I should solicit other opinions and we could talk further. So ... any thoughts on if a vaginal delivery is safe? I would love to delivery normally, if possible, but I don't want to put my baby at risk. -- Julie Next message: Julie: "1st child large & hypoglycemic: 2d PG Test Early for Gest. Diabetes?"
