Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Toxoplasma infection, Ig G shows infection in the past. these are antibodies against toxoplasma, and it will prevent baby from infection. so your baby is on safer side.
As her Ig M is negative, means it is not a recent infection. only recent infection has chances of affecting to baby.
Your doctor has adviced not to worry, your wife is already immune to this infection.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.

Regards
Dr. Vidya
