hi i am 34weeks pregnant and i had my check up with my midwife yesterday. she checked my urine, and everything was fine and she took blood. my doctor rung me today and said that my blood results have come back, as i was put on iron tablets she said it has gone up so i can take 1 a day now. but she said my white blood cell count was really high. she wants a urine test to be sent off for tests as it didnt show any infection yesterday. what could this be and should i be worried??
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have pregnancy induced physiological leukocytosis.  Or you may have some infection.  So it depends on your WBC count.  If it is too high, and you have sign of infection then take antibiotics treatment accordingly.  If it is slightly increased then no need to worry. Take your iron treatment regularly to increase your hemoglobin level. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
