If you had a normal total cholesterol reading before falling pregnant and it's in our history file, we will accept the history result and it will override the current reading, if high. If there is no total cholesterol reading, normal total cholesterol ranges will be manually loaded for you. If you had unacceptable total cholesterol levels prior to getting pregnant, no exception will be made, as this could carry health risks during the pregnancy.
