Elevated WBC?

Question

My lab results showed high WBC and neutrophils. No one has called me about them yet but just wondering if it's common for these to be elevated in pregnancy? I don't necessarily feel sick. I'm 15 weeks.

Answer

It can be any kind of infection. My wbc are always high I have psoriasis and since it's an autoimmune disease my wbc and "phils" (show inflammation) are high. If the give u an antibiotic just take the course.

Answer

Mine was the same way and it freaked me out but found out it's perfectly normal for your entire pregnancy. They should go back to "normal levels" shortly after birth

Answer

Actually, it's normal for your WBC to be slightly elevated during pregnancy. It's also normal for you to have decreased hematocrit and hemoglobin. I wouldn't worry.

Answer

Usually it's some sort of infection. Possibly UTI or BV
