During pregnancy, the most common type of low platelet count is known as 'gestational thrombocytopenia'. This condition usually emerges in the second or third trimester of pregnancy and is often mild, typically not requiring specific treatment. For a vaginal birth or C-section, a platelet count above 50,000/mm³ is generally considered sufficient. However, treatment may be necessary in cases where these values fall below the threshold before delivery. Gestational thrombocytopenia should be evaluated with a multidisciplinary approach by Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Hematologists.
