Our midwife called today and told me my blood test came back with an abnormal result. Apparently my platelet count is too low. It is a condition called Thrombocytopenia and it occurs in 7-8% of pregnancies. My count was just over 100k, and normal is at least 150k. She said not to worry about it and that chances are everything would fine, but they'll need to monitor my blood more often. Gag! I hate having my blood taken. Darned "difficult" veins.
Here's the webpage I found that described it:

Not worrying. Not worrying. Not worrying.
