AB  - Thrombocytopenia in pregnant women is diagnosed frequently by obstetricians 
      because platelet counts are now included with automated complete blood cell 
      counts (CBCs) obtained during routine prenatal screening (1). The condition is 
      common, occurring in 7-8% of pregnancies (2). Thrombocytopenia can result from a 
      variety of physiologic or pathologic conditions, several of which are unique to 
      pregnancy. Some causes of thrombocytopenia are serious medical disorders that 
      have the potential for profound maternal and fetal morbidity. In contrast, other 
      conditions, such as gestational thrombocytopenia, are benign and pose no maternal 
      or fetal risks. Because of the increased recognition of maternal and fetal 
      thrombocytopenia, there are numerous controversies regarding obstetric 
      management. Clinicians must weigh the risks of maternal and fetal bleeding 
      complications against the costs and morbidity of diagnostic tests and invasive 
      interventions.
