Actually good news: The tests mean you have immunity to those germs & your baby is not at risk from a infection from most of those mentioned.Germs on that list can infect a mom for their first time during pregnancy & cause a miscarriage, birth defects or worse. This is not a guarantee everything will go well but it is good news just the same.The herpes + means you need to watch for flare ups & sometimes have a cs.
