No: Your blood work indicates that you have had CMV in the past but do not have active CMV. Active CMV is what causes disease in the fetus. All the best.

Not particularly: These numbers confirm that you are not actively infected now with CMV and have a protective antibody level should you be exposed later in pregnancy.It is good news. I'm sure you will worry about something, but just let this one go.
