Is there any documented medical reason (for the health of mother or child) that a woman with ITP should not become pregnant?
There is no research supporting the position that a woman with ITP should not become pregnant. Physicians rarely, if ever, discourage pregnancy in women with known ITP, but they usually explain that maternal and fetal complications may occur and additional monitoring and therapy may be needed. It is important for a woman with ITP who is pregnant to be carefully monitored by her physicians.
