Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Rubella IgG test in grey zone means the results are equivocal. It is not significant in pregnancy. Even if the IgG test is positive in pregnancy, it suggests that at some point of time in past, you had rubella infection.

At present, you are not having an infection. There is no need to worry.
You can have an anomaly scan of baby between 18-20 weeks.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
