Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Toxoplasma infection during pregnancy is known to cause birth defects, IUGR and preterm delivery.
You are taking proper drugs.
I also recommend you to get a antibody test done.
Ig M antibody suggests infection.
However presence of IG-G antibody suggests immunity. Then you need not worry.
Hope this helps,
regards,
Dr Nilofer
