Why Does My WBC Count Keeps Increasing During Pregnancy?
Hi, I am 13 weeks pregnant. I have been doing blood test for past three week, every week to monitor my WBC count. The count kept increasing from 13000, 15000 and last was 16000. I don't have any cough or cold or any type of infection. Doctor gave a guess and has advices me to take MOX antibiotic for a week and then try the test again, May I know is it normal to have high WBC count in pregnancy? Is it safe for mother and baby to take the above mentioned antibiotic
hi, yes leucocytosis is common in pregnancy. some degree of it is expectable. if your count increase further then you need intervention. then consult gynecologist and take treatment accordingly. and amoxycicilin is safe in pregnancy
