Materials and Methods: Umbilical cord blood samples were taken from 140 babies, 70 of them belongs to each group. Leukocyte counts were detected. The data obtained was analyzed with SPSS version 16. Results and Conclusion: Present study revealed a statically significant decrease in TLC as gestational age increases. ANC had a direct relationship with gestational age, as gestational age increases ANC increases. ALC had an inverse relationship with gestational age, which decreases as gestational age advances.
