Concerned? So last Wednesday I had blood work done at my 27 week check up to make sure I wasn't…

Hi Hun!! ?

I say make an appointment with a GP hopefully one closer to us than a far drive for sure lol explain to the GP that u got sick following the blood draw. Let the GP give u clearance to ur OB. I'm sure ur OB believes you but it's still protocol to be on the safe side and have it checked out!

Hay, the reason your white blood cells were high is because they knew you had this cough cold coming, when it has gone the white blood cells will have calmed down, honestly if it was me I wouldn't worry to much hun,

I had high white blood cells but they weren't concerned they just said your body has either just fought off a bug, fighting off a bug or getting ready to get rid of a bug, but if your worried have them check your white blood cells after you've got rid of your sore throat, cough and cold x

Last time when I came down with a cold my doc told me that it's normal to have a high white count when you are preggo. I got a sore throat, low grade fever, sore neck and shoulders. He prescribed an antibiotic just to make sure. Just rest and lots of water.

Yeah, I think I am going to just wait it out. Unless my cold symptoms worsen. I really honestly think that is what it is causing this. I had no other symptoms during the first draw and felt perfectly fine other than just being pregnant. I will talk to my OB when I see him again on Wednesday.

So weird how it seems OBs are all over the place!! I've had an elevated wbc the whole time pregnant w first daughter and now this time in 2 nd preg. All every ob tells me is it's normal during pregnancy to elevate... So weird how your ob says uou need to see a gp?? It's worried me always but my dr says it is normal for many pg women??

Yeah since my original post, it was at 19 then went down 17,16 on the other draws but then last week it spiked up over 20 and I wasn't even feeling bad. The nurse made a comment to me that it was higher than it has ever been and asked if I was feeling ok. So I have no idea what is going on. :-/

Oh and she said normal limits are around or under 10 if that helps.
