Brief Answer:
Very low risk

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

These reports suggest the risk of birth defects is lower and no need to worry.

However none of the reports say with 100 percent accuracy about baby having no birth defects. Hence low risk can only be said.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
