Hello sir,
The good news is that you can only catch rubella once. Once your wife had the disease, she is immune to Rubella so this cannot happen twice! Your lab results do not indicate any new infection.
So there is no reason that this baby cannot be allowed to go full term.
I hope this information was helpful.
Best wishes for the pregnancy, Dr Brown
