Hi,
The above reports suggest that your wife is at a very very very low risk to carry an abnormal baby.
The cut off to do further testing is 1 in 250 for downs(nowadays, we take the cut off as 1/150),anyhow, but your wife's values are very safe at 1/870.
This is a very reassuring result. So please do not worry. Everything seams to be fine at the moment.
You should keep calm and look forward to the rest of the pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
