    Abstract Background: Gestational thrombocytopenia, also known as incidental thrombocytopenia of pregnancy, is the commonest cause of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy occurring in approximately 75% of cases, it occurs in the middle of the second trimester and the third trimester and is not associated with maternal bleeding. Rationale: Gestational thrombocytopenia may lead to severe complications for both pregnant lady and her fetus. Objectives: To know the prevalence of gestational thrombocytopenia among selected group of pregnant ladies. Materials and methods Descriptive cross sectional study, blood specimen was collected from 100 pregnant ladies and examined by full automated haematological analyzer. Result: There is no reported case of gestational thrombocytopenia among all pregnant ladies involved in the study (0%). Discussion: Globally gestational thrombocytopenia is considered when platelets count is below 116.000cell/μl of blood, no one of participants down to this number then the percentage of gestational thrombocytopenia among the study group (0%) is lower than the normal reference range of gestational thrombocytopenia (7-8%). Conclusion: There is no gestational thrombocytopenia among the pregnant ladies involved in the study. Recommendation: Further studies should be done involving pregnant ladies from different racial group to know the effect of race on the number of platelets during pregnancy
