The main aim of this study was to determinethe incidence of thrombocytopenia at GGG hospital Jamnagar among pregnant women attending antenatal care service. Objectives: To access incidence of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy and it’s outcome. To access theincidence of thrombocytopenia among pregnant women a cross sectional study was used on pregnant women attending antenatal care service GGG Hospital, Jamnagar from January to December 2018. A total of 9328 pregnant women taken visit 1110 diagnosed had thrombocytopenia. 100 were included in the study. Blood samples were collected for platelet count and other platelet parameters.

The mean ± standard deviation platelet count was 238.85×109/L (±74.57). Thrombo-cytopenia was significantly associated with age group 20-25 year. Conclusion: The incidence of thrombocytopenia was 11.9% predominantly with mild type of thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia was higher among pregnant women who belongs to age group 20-25 year.
