Hi @phulwanik0611 I wrote to you in another conversation to let you know that it’s not uncommon for women who are pregnant to have elevated white blood counts. Here is a link to that reply with information for you.

It’s easy to let your anxiety get away from you, especially when you’re pregnant. You want everything to turn out well for you and your baby. Seeing that you had no blasts or abnormal blood cells and had confirmation from three hematologists that there is nothing directed to CML, I think you can rest easy that this is not an issue for you.
Women who are pregnant are also increased risk of iron deficiency anemia.
Has your doctor suggested any iron supplements to take while you’re pregnant?

Oh okay.. well I found my form by putting in what cancer I had, so you could put the type of anemia you have and it should show you a forum with others that have the same thing and can give advice. My apologies for not being much help, but I will continue to pray that God will give you peace and the Holy Spirit will give you comfort. I pray you find what you’re looking for.
