My routine bloodwork came and cholesterol is showing higher than usual. I eat fairly normal so it surprised me. Im in my second trimester, wanted to know if this is a pregnancy thing or should i be worried.
My doc said cholesterol naturally rises in pregnancy because your body needs it to make hormones and for the baby's development. It usually settles back after delivery. She said not to panic unless it's combined with other concerns.
Totally normal yaar, it goes up for almost everyone in pregnancy. Dont go on some crazy diet for it, just eat balanced and let your gynac monitor. Mine came back to normal after the baby.
Dont worry about this too much, it's the body doing its job for the baby. Just keep your regular checkups and eat sensibly. It usually corrects itself once baby arrives.
