Blood Count and Peripheral Smear
In CML, the increase in mature granulocytes and normal lymphocyte counts (low percentage due to dilution in the differential count) typically results in a total WBC count of 20,000-60,000 cells/μL. A mild increase in basophils and eosinophils is present and becomes more prominent during the transition to acute leukemia.

Hi @phulwanik0611, It can be common for wbc to be elevated during pregnancy as body’s immune system adjusts to support the woman and her unborn baby.

Here are a couple of articles that might be helpful for you.
Medicalnewstoday.com talks about WBC while being pregnant.

Your blood tests showing no blasts or abnormal cells are reassuring.
Were you diagnosed with CML previously to being pregnant? Or is your doctor running tests to see why your numbers are elevated?
