Answer:

There is a low probability that a future pregnancy would exhibit similar phenotypes since it probably was a germinative line mutation that affected that egg.

Explanation:

The malformations of the unborn child, probably are due to a mutation in the germ cell of any or both parents. Germline mutations are detectable changes in a sperm or egg that we can see when the fetus is growing, as malformations since the original germ cell that was mutated divided itself to give more mutated cells for all the different parts of the fetus.
