Is Low White Blood Count During Pregnancy Dangerous?
Friend s daughter (mid 30s) is at 30 weeks of high risk pregnancy. She s been told she has a low white blood count. She s in hospital w/monitor showing unborn son is in distress. At what low WBC should she be extremely worried. Mild contractions; being medicated to delay birth (hopefully).
Various causes can result in this like lupus, leukaemia, alcoholism, nutritional deficiencies, immunodeficiency causes, etc. So please do allow them to investigate this further and help with delaying birth as much as possible. The longer the baby stays inside, the more chances it has of survival once it gets out.
Best wishes.
