rubella

Has anyone tested positive for it while pregnant I was reading my test results online and it said I was positive for it and I'm really worried about my baby right now

What do you mean? I have positive traces in my blood as you need this for immunity. It basically means your body remembers an encounter with this virus before and so would successfully fight it off if it tried to attack your cells again

Usually when they test you in the beginning they don't test for active disease itself, they test for antibodies. A positive result would mean your antibody levels are high enough to consider you immune to rubella.

Yea that's true about them calling I guess when Ur freaked out about something all logic goes out the window lol thanks for the advice it was really what I needed

I'm sure if it was serious your doctor will call you.  Mine told me when they did the blood work they were checking to see what I had antibodies for making sure my vaccines were okay

[katie0203]

Thank you msmith2012 that's what I've been trying to find out that makes me feel alil better

MMR not MAR

I've been looking it up and I just don't understand if I tested positive bc I was vaccinated as a kid bc u would think I was since everyone is supposed to be but yea I need to just call them

[MSmith2012]

If you had the MAR (measles maps and rubella) vaccine it can give a false positive. Some of those tests they do to see if you've had the vaccine and have antibodies to them.

I am not sure about the the disease however I would suggest to speak to your doctor asap, forums tend to increase the anxiety which is for sure bad for your baby.
