Hello and welcome to HCM,
The hemoglobin level is on the lower side. However, this is normal during pregnancy since, there is dilutional or physiological anemia during pregnancy.
The hematocrit increases or decreases with the hemoglobin concentration.
The MCHC value is also within normal limits.
It is difficult to comment on the differential counts of neutrophils and lymphocytes without knowing total leukocyte count.
Kindly, post the total leukocyte count also.
Thanks and take care
