Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,

I have gone through the uploaded reports.

Your diabetes screen is normal. Hemoglobin is 13.5 which is great. Do not worry about basophils, MCHC, RDW, PDW and other values in the hemogram. They are insignificant. Blood urea nitrogen is normal, although it is on the lower end.

Calcium is slightly low, continue to take calcium supplement. Take a glass of milk twice daily (whole milk). Triglycerides in normal although it is 204. VLDL is normal too. Overall your lipid profile looks good.

Alkaline phosphatase tends to increase in pregnancy. So, it is expected that you have a high value at 128.9. Do nothing about this. Rest of the liver function is normal. Thyroid hormone levels are perfect.

Overall, your blood reports are fine. Nothing to worry about.

Please take healthy diet and rest well. Wish you good luck for safe and healthy outcome of your pregnancy.

Regards,
