Brief Answer:
Everything is absolutely normal and you should be relaxed...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I had gone through your question and both the reports and i can understand your concern very well.
First of all, i would like to tell you that ultrasound will not have any kind of side effects on fetus or not even on mother, as ultrasound is absolutely safe and it does not uses any kind of radiations.
According to both the reports, i should say that everything is absolutely normal and you won't require to any further investigations. Placenta is posterior, so no placenta previa, which if present would be a concern. Nuchal thickness is also normal. No any gross congenital anomalies are there.
So all and all, everything is normal and you need to be relaxed and enjoy the pregnancy.
Hope this will help you to be tension free and let me know if you have any further related queries.
