| Background: In pregnancy there is decrease in platelet count mainly in late stage, which is normal physiological phenomena in third trimester, thrombocytopenia is a second common hematological condition affecting pregnant women after anaemia, unless its severe, otherwise it require no treatment. Objective: To estimate and evaluate the platelet count during different trimester of pregnancy, with presence or absence of thrombocytopenia. Patients and Methods: Platelet count was performed on pregnant women attending Al-Batool Teaching Hospital for Maternity and Paediatric in Baquba - Diyala, and some private clinic and laboratories in Baquba, during the period from March 2013 to November 2015 . Ninety pregnant women were included in the study groupand thirtyhealthy non pregnant women as control group. Platelets count were done for them using automated hematology auto-analysers ABX-Horiba Micros 60, and comparison in platelets counts done between study group and control group and between different trimesters of pregnancy. Results: Platelet count were lower in pregnancy with range (57-399) in compared with control group with range (166-399), and its lower in third trimester mean(208.69) in compared with other trimesters (first and second with mean 262.96 , 261.56 respectively) and the differences were statistically significant p < 0.001. Conclusion: In this study we find a mild thrombocytopenia during pregnancy especially in third trimester, but this had no effect on mother, fetus and may not cause bleeding complication of delivery, which need only monthly follow up. | ||
