text: Yo, listen up, I got a tale to tell,
  'Bout a condition called Gestational Thrombocytopenia, GT for short, you know it well.
  It's common in pregnancies, no need to fret,
  But the data on its natural history, we ain't got yet.
  
  From '87 to '93, we ran a study real tight,
  37 patients with GT, shining in the light.
  We observed 41 pregnancies, oh so keen,
  80% had vaginal delivery, that's what we've seen.
  
  Two patients needed transfusion, post-partum uterine atony,
  The rest had no neonatal bleeding, no need for any worry.
  Newborns' platelet count checked within 24 hours, you see,
  Two had mild, one severe thrombocytopenia, but they'd soon be free.
  
  In just 10 days, their counts went back to normal,
  No treatment needed, ain't that quite formal?
  After 12 months, we followed 28 of these ladies,
  23 saw their platelet counts normalize, no maybes.
  
  But for 5, mild thrombocytopenia persisted,
  100 to 120 x 10(9)/L, but they resisted.
  Four of 'em had a second pregnancy down the line,
  And guess what? Thrombocytopenia came back, oh, it ain't so fine.
  
  GT ain't known for bleeding during pregnancy or partum,
  Recovery happens in months, no need for a martyrdom.
  But beware, in subsequent pregnancies, it can return,
  Severe thrombocytopenia in newborns, we didn't discern.
  
  So, we play it safe, go with a conservative approach,
  GT might be a challenge, but we won't encroach.
  Keep an eye on those platelet counts, don't you forget,
  And let nature do its thing, no need to fret.
