During pregnancy, white blood cells normally increase to protect you and the baby. A count of 15,000 is expected and does not suggest cancer unless other abnormal findings are present.
Hb and platelets seems to be in a normal range that means there is no marrow infiltration.
Next Steps
Regular antenatal care

I understand your concern, this situation is very common in early pregnancy, and most of the time it is NOT related to cancer.
Yes ,absolutely WBC increase in first trimester due to hormonal changes and due to medication and immune response.
