I went for my 16 week check up this week & the midwife said all my bloods were fine. I've been having a little look through my record back tonight & I noticed on one sheet of blood results, it says "HIV negative, Syphilis negative" but next to rubella it says positive ... This has just concerned me slightly so just wanted to check if this means all is fine or whether the midwife has missed something? Thanks for any advice!!

I think it means your immune

Yes it means you're immune to rubella, it's a good thing! Rubella can be dangerous in pregnancy so they check to make sure you are immune. For most people it's because they had their MMR jab.
