Will Eating Almonds Help In Increasing Platelet Count During Pregnancy?

I'm 31 weeks pregnant, and my recent blood results showed a reduction in my platelet count. I'm still in the safe range but my Lead Maternity Carer recommended I eat a handful of raw almonds daily to increase my platelet count. Do almonds really help increase your platelet count?
