White blood count

[armywife93]

Have any of you ladies had a slightly elevated WBC since being pregnant? Is it anything to worry about? When I got my last blood test, the highest normal count of WBC is like 12% and mine was 13%. The doctors say it's nothing to worry about, but I stress about that stuff lol. I did have elevated WBC before getting pregnant, but I think it was due to fighting off chlamydia that I didn't know I had. I cured it when I found out I was pregnant and that I had it, but my WBC is still a little high. I'm concerned. Of course if you google it, it talks about all these cancers lol and I ALWAYS assume the worst :/

I work in pathology - nearly all pregnant women will have an elevated white cell count. Its completely normal :) try to relax in knowing your okay :)

Hahaha I know my husband gets SO mad when I google things cause I worry waaaay too much. I know it's only 1% over I'm just such a worry wart lmao. I guess if the doctors aren't worried I shouldn't either.
