What Does This Blood Report During Pregnancy Indicate?

I am 36 weeks pregnant and they have made me aware that my antibody levels are 1024. No other information on it because they say this is there first case of dealing with it and don’t know much about it. They intially said that they would move my cesearean date up but then changed and said that since there is no availability for surgery dates that I have to keep my due date which is in another 3 weeks. What are the risks of carrying my son if my antibodies are steady increasing?

Hello,

First of all, do not panic. It is not clear from your query, about which antibodies are you made aware of. Is it antibodies against Rh-positive blood group or anti-HIV antibodies or CD 4 count? Or is there any issues about herpes virus infection of the genital tract.

Conditions stated above may require a planned C section. Please seek the opinion of your treating doctor for the same. Trust fully in your treating doctor, ask your concern freely and get a scientific explanation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
