Abstract
A study involving the pregnant females, who came for antenatal care checkups during the period of six months was conducted in a tertiary care hospital(Rajindra Hospital Patiala) to evaluate trimester pattern of change and reference ranges of hematological profile among Punjabi females with normal pregnancy. The study was conducted with an aim to define changes in TLC and platelets as the pregnancy progresses. 850 normal pregnant females have been selected. Out of which 320 in first trimester, 250 in second trimester and 280 in the third trimester were included in the analysis. We have found that leukocytosis is almost always associated with normal pregnancy. Platelet count and lymphocytes were reduced slightly as the pregnancy progresses.
