My wife blood test report shows Rubella values: IgG 4.76 and IgM 0.57. Are these values normal before planning a family? Should we be worried about the IgG value, as we have heard that abnormal Rubella values can cause cerebral palsy related problems in the child? We might have already conceived. Please advise on Rubella values.

IgG is borderline and IgM is negative. This likely indicates no recent infection, but the level of immunity is unclear. Consider rechecking IgG. No need to panic IgM negativity is a good sign.

Hello doctor, I am nineteen weeks pregnant. My rubella IgG test was 1.93 positive during my first trimester. But on my anomaly scan some type of infection is seen. So my doctor advised me for rubella IgG avidity test. What is the purpose of this avidity test if already my rubella IgG is done and my report is positive? Are there any chances of rubella infection again after a positive rubella report? Will this have any problem in my child?

I am 34 years old and currently 5+ weeks pregnant. My recent blood tests show IgG CMV at 339 IU/mL (positive) and IgG CMV Rubella positive. My thyroid T4 is low at 0.852. I am anxious as my blood tests show these infections. Should I continue with the pregnancy? This is my second pregnancy and my first child is a 4 years old.

My TORCH test report is Rubella IgG antibodies 51 IU per ml, Rubella IgM 0.22 index, and CMV IgG 31 AU per ml. What does it mean? I am worried about it.
