Is it wise to take an hiv test twice after the first one came back as positive during pregnancy meanwhile you have been hiv negative all the time?

Depends: It depend on the type of test that was positive. It it was an antibody screening test, you need to get a confirmatory HIV nucleic acid test. It would be prudent to talk to your doctor who ordered the earlier test. Wish you good health!
