Elevated white blood count common in pregnancy?
Good news is I passed my second glucose tolerance test (phew!) and my iron level is within the suggested range..... BUT....my midwife called to say I have a high WBC count and was wondering if I was feeling ill. I feel fine so she said it's usually nothing and that it's common in pregnancy to have a high WBC --- that's news to me... Anybody else have this or heard of this in pregnancy? Should I be worried?
TIA.
ETA: Nevermind -- did a quick search on this board and see that it could be from not drinking enough water or even a UTI. I'll up my water and cranberry and take it easy.
