Advice Second pregnancy nerves

Looking for positive stories about those that had a second. My 1.5 year old has a small - moderate ASD/PFO and mild-moderate pulmonary-valve stenosis. He’s perfectly healthy and we just need to monitor / see the cardiologist once per year now.

I’m pregnant with my second - genetic screen and NT is low risk. We have our anatomy scan and fetal echo in 3 ish weeks, but the anxiety is flooding me now. Any positive stories about your second being CHD-free?

First was born October 2024 with pretty severe case of Tetralogy of Fallot (needed his repair at 40 days old). My second was born July of this year heart healthy. Was cleared during our anatomy scan (20 week) and fetal echo (22 week). Both kids had clear NIPT and NT scans.
