ITP and birth optionsFrom: Amber (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 25 Jul 2001 13:37:00 -0500 (CDT)
I am now a little over 38 weeks pregnant and have itp - i have had a splenetomine to raise my platelets which has worked so far - my dr told me there is a 10% chance that the baby will have a problem with her platelets when born - she gave me 3 options 1) do an amnio and take the babies blood to check the platelets 2) do a c section to avoid any problems (she told me if there is a problem that it is more dangerous to do a vaginal birth) 3) just do a vaginal birth and see what happens - well i prefer to just do a c section why take the chance even if its only 10% - but when i told her this she argued and told me just to do a vaginal birth - i dont agree i would rather suffer with a c section than have the baby suffer if there is a problem - why give me 3 choices if im not aloud to choose - what would be the best route to take? Thank you very much Amber
