Anyone's 1st born with birth defect?

So....I am 5 weeks and 4 days. I have a beautiful miracle little girl name Hannah she is 4 years old. She was born with Digeorge syndrome and hypoplastic right heart syndrome. Due to missing chromosome 22. I am soo scared my expecting child will be born with a birth defect as well? The doctors say its not likely for this baby to have complications. And that I done nothing wrong in my first pregnancy to cause her condition. Its something that just goes wrong during the chromosome formation it the first week during pregnancy. But I can't help but worry. I don't like to see my little girl suffering through her heart surgeries. She did just have her very last one almost 2 weeks ago and she is doing AMAZING. Shes home and playing and back to her happy self!!!! I really want a healthy baby. I don't want to see another child go through what my baby girl had to :(

Were you aware that your daughter would have those problems before she was born? Like on an ultrasound or something?
