Hello!
Thanks for your query.
You do not need to worry because this count of platelets is normal(150-400).
If her platelet count drops below normal while she is pregnant ,its called gestational thrombocytopenia, usually happens in the third trimester.
The reason why platelet count is reduced for tow reason;
the process of destroys platelets is speed up in pregnancy
platelets are more diluted
TAKE CARE OF HER
