So sorry for your friend, my cousin (in England) had an issue with her pregnancy with her little girl whereby she had very little amniotic fluid, so much so that her dr's were planning on terminating her pregnancy (this was last year).

After a lot of monitoring they didn't terminate the pregnancy and she made it to 28 weeks when her baby was born alive. My cousin became seriously ill as it appears the amniotic fluid was re-entering her body and she sustained a serious life threatening infection. Her baby passed away at 4 days old from liver and kidney failure but they don't know if it was due to the lack of amniotic fluid or due to her prematurity. Fingers crossed your friend can have a more positive outcome than my cousin and that both her and her baby are healthy.
