If your igm test for rubella is positive, you have got infection currently. During early pregnancy, rubella infection can harm the baby badly, about 80-90% rate of infection will travel into the baby, can cause structural and functional defects during this foetal organ growth period. Within first 1o weeks of pregnancy. The risk lowers to 20% after 11 weeks till 18 weeks. Subsequently the infection rate is much lesser. So it depends o which time of pregnancy you are carrying.

Hi lybrate-user, high rubella igg suggests that your wife is immune from rubella, which is good as this means that there is very little risk of the baby getting affected by rubella when your wife conceives.

Hello doctor am 25 years old. I have been married since two years and now we are getting ready for the family planing, so for that we had made a pre-conceptional visit with our doctor and she had checked my BP and had given few tests like Hb, Thyroid profile, FBS/PPBS and Rubella Ag Test. So the other test results were normal except the Bp (132/88 for the first visit and 130/92 for the second visit) & Rubella Ag Test that gave a non reactive result within a range of 9.30 and advised me to take the vaccination (R-Vac) on my second day of the menstrual cycle and reminded me to Not to get pregnant within 1 month. For the HT my doctor suggested me to meet a physician so for that I met a consultant physician so he checked my BP and it was normal. But for clearance of vaccination I asked him about the rubella ag test so he advised me that after getting the vaccination, I should Not get pregnant for minimum 6 months, since its a live attenuated vaccine so it may take time. So Doctor my question is how long should I not plan for the pregnancy after vaccination? Is it 6 months or 1 month? Is there any specific date for the vaccination as mentioned above (the second day of menstrual cycle)? Or any time?

My God. Who asked you to terminate? IgG positive means you had past infection and moreover, mere blood test means nothing. There are numerous ways to detect whether the baby is affected or not. If not affected, why should we terminate an innocent fetus.

please do a blood test first to check your immune status to Rubella. This includes a IgG and IgM antibody. If negative you need to be vaccinated
