My blood report came and ESR is showing high, got a bit worried seeing that. Doc didnt seem too concerned but i wanted to understand why it happens in pregnancy. Anyone whose ESR was also high during these months?
ESR naturally goes up during pregnancy because your blood volume and proteins increase. It is completely normal, so don't waste time stressing over it. Just show the report to your gynac during your next routine visit.
Beta, our blood changes a lot when we are carrying a child, so these lab reports can show high numbers. Drink warm turmeric milk and rest well. But let your doctor look at the report once to be safe.
It's very common for ESR to be elevated during pregnancy because of the increased fibrinogen levels in our body. I had the same concern, but my gynac reassured me it was completely fine. Don't worry too much about it.
An elevated ESR is actually a standard physiological response to pregnancy due to changes in plasma proteins. It shouldn't be interpreted the same way as in non-pregnant individuals. Your gynac is the best person to evaluate it alongside your other blood work.
I recently delivered, and I remember my ESR was quite high in my reports. My doctor said it's just because of the body's natural inflammatory response to growing a baby. It went back to normal post-delivery, so don't stress!
My saas got so worried seeing my high ESR report and wanted to give me herbal kadhas, but my doctor said it's totally normal in pregnancy. Always best to listen to the gynac for these medical reports rather than worrying at home.
Don't panic seeing that high number on your report! ESR naturally increases during pregnancy because of all the physical changes. Keep a positive mind, eat well, and let your doctor review it.
My grandmother thought high ESR meant I had some infection, but my doctor calmly explained it is just due to the extra blood our body makes. Trust your doctor's explanation and don't take stress over lab numbers.
I totally understand how scary it is to see a high value on a lab report, my heart skipped a beat too! But please know this is very common in pregnancy. Hugs to you, just discuss it with your gynac to put your mind at ease.
I had a high ESR too and panicked, but my doctor told me it's a normal physiological change in pregnancy. Just keep sharing all your blood reports with your doctor to make sure there's no active infection.
I read on my pregnancy app that ESR is one of those blood values that naturally shoots up when you are pregnant. It's due to increased fibrinogen. You can track your other parameters, but leave the interpretation to your doc.
Haan, ye pregnancy me normal blood volume badhne ki wajah se hota hai na. Isme darrne ki koi baat nahi hai, almost sabka high hi aata hai. Ek baar apne doctor ko dikha dena, tension mat lo!
