Hello,
You should not worry at all as these reports dont indicate anything which is detrimental to the health of your baby or you.
IGg positive results mean antibodies are present in your body for rubella and this indicated that you had a past infection.These IGg antibodies will always be positive in future testings snd it means that you are protected from rubella for life.
Your IGm antibodies are are negative.
IGm antibodies are found in response to the fresh infection.
Negative IGm means that there is no present infection and hence you don't have to worry for anything.
Best of luck for your pregnancy and enjoy life.
Thanks
