Mandy Moore is still suffering from ‘low platelets’ following birth of son August

She recently returned to work on her hit NBC series This Is Us, after giving birth to her son, August, last month.

And Mandy Moore took to Instagram on Friday to give her followers an update on her post-pregnancy health, revealing that she is still suffering from ‘low [blood] platelets.’

As she explained her situation, the 36-year-old actress noted that she wants to get her platelet count to a ‘solid place’ so that she will not have to ‘worry or wonder during the next pregnancy.’

She first shared a snap from her doctor’s waiting room, writing: ‘back at the hematologist to see if my platelets have gone up since having the baby.’

Mandy appeared to be wearing a whimsical-looking floral dress with puffed sleeves for her midday doctors appointment.

Her brunette hair was parted down the middle and styled in loose waves and she sported a mask over her face.

After speaking with her physician and learning her results, Moore returned to her vehicle and provided her fans with an update.

‘Platelets are going up, but still not great,’ the star began, while posing for the camera in a pair of clear framed sunglasses.

‘I’m on a mission to do whatever I can to get them to a solid place so I don’t have to wonder or worry during the next pregnancy.

‘Have to wait a few more months to absolutely confirm that it’s infant ITP and wasn’t gestational thrombocytopenia,’ she continued.

Moore concluded her text post by asking those also suffering from ‘low platelets ‘ to share what has worked for them in the past to get their count up.

Mandy’s candid health update comes just one day after she resumed her role of Rebecca Pearson on the set of This Is Us.

‘So grateful to be able to ease back into this job I love so much (and to  be able to bring my sweet hubby and baby to hang with me),’ she gushed to her 4.5million Instagram followers.

While her husband Taylor Goldsmith, who she wed in 2018, was not seen in any of her snaps, Moore filmed herself getting her hair and makeup done.  

The two-time SAG Award winner captioned the recording: ‘Mom is BACK at work!!!’

In the footage, the Golden Globe nominee wore a black face mask and wore a fluffy purple robe with half her brown hair pulled back in rollers.  

Her second snap showed her wearing a fitted brown sweater and long jean skirt, which showed off her toned post-pregnancy body. 

In January, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman announced there would be a delay in filming due to a COVID-19 surge in Los Angeles, where the much-loved show is filmed.  

Moore welcomed her first child, who she affectionately calls Gus with Goldsmith, 35, in February. 

She shared her first photos of little August on February 23.

‘He was punctual and arrived right on his due date, much to the delight of his parents,’ she wrote. ‘We were prepared to fall in love in all sorts of brand new ways, but it goes beyond anything we could have ever imagined.’

She added that he had been ‘one week earthside,’ suggesting that he was born on February 20, though she hasn’t yet confirmed his birthdate.
