Hi,
Thanks for trusting us again about your health care.
Yes,wbc on little higher side during pregnancy because of pregnancy induced stress,it will come back to normal after delivery.
After misscarriage it will take little more time for wbc to come down to normal, as little stress is persistent after misscarriage.
