Abstract

Platelets are blood components that play a role in the hemostasis process, so it is
important to know that changes in platelet values often occur during pregnancy
where thrombocytopenia can cause anemia, other dangerous complications and
put the mother and fetus at greater risk for excessive bleeding. While
thrombocytosis causes disruption of blood flow, causing miscarriage, premature
labor or prolonged labor. This study aims to describe the results of examination
of platelet levels in pregnant women and to determine the risk factors associated
with platelet levels.
The research method used in this research is descriptive with a quantitative
approach. The sampling technique is purposive sampling with a total sample of
24 respondents.
The results showed normal platelet levels were 18 (75%), and experienced a
decrease in abnormal platelets (thrombocytopenia) by 2 (8.3%), which
experienced an increase in platelets (thrombocytosis) by 4 (16.7%) so that it could
affect the risk factors for platelets. in pregnant women, namely the age of pregnant
women and gestational age.
