Toxoplasma IgM: that is a borderline increase, but needs to be looked after and repeated, could just be false positive, common with IgM as it is very sensitive, very early to talk about whether your baby is affected, IgG is negative, talk to your doctor and keep a close follow up , your doctor will give you more information, wish you healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby,

Followup IgG and IgM: is mandatory, to determine whether you have a primary infection in pregnancy, or just an insignificant equivocal positive. The first indication of recent infection is a positive IgM, which will always be associated with rising IgG toxoplasma-specific antibodies. IgM provides short-term immunity (months), IgG is long term (decades). A positive IgM only occurs the first time a person is infected.
