Is Elevated Platelet Count During Pregnancy Dangerous?

Hi Dr, Iam 3 montHs pregnant and have had severe morning sickness. I was given phenergren and had a allergic reaction to it, in the er they gave me benedryl and fluids and I was sent home. I recently had my prenatal panel run and my platelet count is at 465, ny dr hasn t mentioned it to me yet, my question is should I be worried about it being high, the normal range says it shouldn t be above 400. Thank you,

Hello dear thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is common to have increased pkatelets during pregnancy due to increased levels of sterouds in pregnancy.
There is nothing to worry about it.
