Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr MIttal, I have read your query and seen you reports.
I think I can help you.
There are changes in the report that can be explained by the pregnancy.
1. the WBC in urine are more. Normally that suggests infection. However, it ca happen normally in pregnancy. So I suggest urine culture test before taking action on this.
2. the hemoglobin and MCV are slightly low. I would suggest iron and vitamin b 12 supplements. However, most of the obstreticians start the medicine for this anyways. So I think you will have to see the existing prescription.
Rest of the reports are normal.
I am assuming sugars are tested regularly and are within normal limits.
Best of luck, Dr Mittal
