Hello dear
Understand your concern
You can continue the pregnancy as all Ig G antibodies are positive it suggests past infection or you get immunity against it and not active infections. You can take the antibiotics during the pregnancy.So it is not harmful and it cause no miscarriage and abnormality in pregnancy.
You should keep the baby. But require close follow up regularly to check your health and fetal health.
If required progesterone and HCG injection should be given to prevent miscarriage. Avoid weight lifting and exertion and take proper rest.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
