Platelet functions before, during and after labor. 1981

A Sagi, and D Creter, and J Goldman, and M Djaldetti

Platelet functions were evaluated in 20 healthy pregnant women in the last months of pregnancy, during labor, and 5-12 weeks after labor. The results showed an increased platelet count, bleeding time and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) test, as well as an increased plasma calcium level postlabor. ADP- and epinephrine-induced aggregation during labor was markedly decreased, followed by a statistically significant increase postlabor. These findings are in correlation with the high incidence of thromboembolic phenomena occurring postlabor.
