Answer 1

A positive rubella IgG suggests that you are immune to rubella and are protected either due to past rubella infection or due to rubella vaccine. If you suffer rubella infection in pregnancy, then only there is risk of transmission of rubella to the baby. You can repeat Rubella IgG again after 4 weeks. If the rubella IgG is the same it suggests a past infection. If the rubella IgG rises by 4 times, then consult your doctor.
