Hi,
you and your baby are absolutely fine. Negative screening is actually a good thing.It means your chances of having an abnormal baby are very very less.
The common conditions we worry about that can be seen in baby are Down's syndrome (Trisomy 21),Edwards syndrome(trisomy 18), both of which are negetive.That means it is highly unlikely that your child has them.The aim of screening is to decrease your anxiety about your baby.
So please be reassured and no worries.
