Hello,
Welcome to HCM. Theoretically, risk of down's or achondroplasia is around 1: 1600 if age is less than 30 yrs.
At present, fetal biophysical profile and measurement correspond to gestational age. With H/O previous 2 healthy baby, risk of above disorder is extremely LOW.
You should visit to your obstetrician for periodic check up and fetal well being. Don't worried much.
