Got my blood reports and ESR is showing high, now im a bit worried. Doc said wait for next visit but my mind keeps going there. Is this normal in pregnancy or something to actually worry about?
I am trying to conceive and learning so much. From what I've heard, ESR often rises naturally during pregnancy due to normal body changes. It is always best to let your doctor check the report.
It's actually quite normal for ESR to go up when you are pregnant. My doctor explained that blood volume increases and there are more proteins in the blood, so the rate naturally goes higher. Don't worry unless you have other symptoms.
Yes, ESR levels go up because of increased plasma volume and protein changes. Just make sure you are eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and keeping up with your regular scans.
Arey, don't get tensed. An elevated ESR is just a normal physiological response during pregnancy because your blood volume expands. As long as your overall blood tests are fine, this is nothing to stress about.
I felt so scared when I saw my high ESR report! I literally cried thinking something is wrong. But my gynac calmly told me that it's a completely normal change in pregnancy because of increased blood flow.
I know how terrifying any abnormal report can feel. ESR is usually high in pregnancy because of normal body changes, but for your peace of mind, please review it with your doctor so they can reassure you.
