i had that happen to me too! they induced me early though and my doctor knew what was going on thats why i had my baby a week early. what i know if the blood platelets and why they check them from the start and all is to make sure you wont hemmrage during delivery. the best way for me to say it its like you dont clot as well as you should when your platelets are dropping. so if you really feel that your doctors dont know anything you might want to find one sooner than later and ask them what to do and have them check you out. but for me it turned out great and i wasnt worriend at all. they just gave my my bundle of joy earlier than expected. BEST OF LUCK SWEETIE!!!!

Hello,
Welcome to our forum. Do you take iron tablets and prenatal vitamines? Try eating more green leafy vegetables. If you don't think your doctor has missed something you might want to go to another doctor for a second opinion. Hope everything works out take care of yourself and your unborn child.
