Platelets are cells that help your blood to clot when it needs to. On average, adults have between 150 million and 400 million per millilitre (ml) of blood.

Diet to increase platelets during pregnancy:
- Lean meats such as fish, chicken and turkey are rich in protein, zinc and Vitamin B12, all of which help increase the blood platelet count. Beans contain Vitamin B9 or folate which greatly helps boost the blood platelet count. Some other foods rich in B9 are spinach, asparagus, and oranges.
