: If you are otherwise healthy and have no genetic mutations, with good prenatal care, the baby should be healthy. Follow your OB's advice and eat a healthy diet.

Your AVM has been successfully handled, and AVM's once removed do not recur. There is no described brain malfunction which would prohibit pregnancy, or labor and delivery.
