A member asked:

Is it safe to become pregnant with itp? last platelet count was in normal range. what am i to expect regarding delivery? i have antibodies to platelet

Yes: I've had many patients who have this condition and go on to have successful normal pregnancies. A consultation with a perinatologist would help you understand what possible complications there may be.
