Answer 1

The WBC count a bit elevated in pregnancy. The WBC count is normally higher during the final month of pregnancy . This is due to the number of leukocytes changes. Pregnancy results in a leukocytosis (increase white blood count ), primarily due to an increase in neutrophils with a slight increase in lymphocytes.
An unusually high white blood cell count can indicate an infection or a blood disorder but as long as there is no obvious signs and symptoms to suspect, there is nothing to worry. You may want to read further try to visit this link: http://www.rnceus.com/cbc/cbcwbc.html...

Answer 2

White blood cells play an important role in the immune system of an individual. The white blood cell count is done routinely as part of a complete blood count and further studies are usually needed if abnormalities are discovered through this test. An unusually high white blood cell count can indicate an infection or a blood disorder such as leukemia. However, a low white blood cell count will make an individual susceptible to infectious diseases or allow multiplication of organisms within the body which are normally kept in check by the immune system.

Answer 3

A high white blood cell count means she has an infection. White cells are the body's defenders. She needs to see her OB and find out the source of the infection and get it treated ASAP. The health of her and the baby could be badly harmed. You should just tell her to do this.

Answer 4
