2
Rationale
1. Preterm labor is not a known consequence of amniotic fluid reduction.
2. Removing the amount of fluid too rapidly can cause the uterus to constrict and lose contact with the placenta, resulting in placental abruption.
3. Pre-eclampsia is not a known consequence of amniotic fluid reduction.
4. Placenta previa develops with placental implantation, and would not be a result of amniotic fluid reduction.
