Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
While the presence of blood in your urine might not be totally unusual in your case (though you should have a urine culture sent), the other indices of blood cells are likely normal. In pregnancy:
1. Your WBC is elevated
2. Your hemoglobin and hematocrit are lowered
3. Your RDW is elevated
I hope that this helps and good luck!
