Low: The modern anesthesia is very safe. Some medications could have effect, risks are low, depends on how advanced was your pregnancy and what dosages and drugs were used. The most critical is first 60 days.

See below: You are probably alright. There are very few anesthetic agents that have been shown to have any effect on the early fetus. There is an extremely theoretical possibility that Midazolam (versed) might have an effect on the fetus, but the data is very weak. The use of Fioricet (acetaminophen butalbital and caffeine) has also been cautioned in pregnancy.
