Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Rubella infection prior to conception makes your wife immune to this disease and hence it will not effect your fetus in any way, as your wife immune system had developed protective antibodies against rubella.
I suggest you not to worry and keep this pregnancy safely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
