Lower than expected amniotic fluid at earlier than 10 weeks is quite subjective and has not been related to poor outcome unless someone is constantly leaking fluid (a very unusual occurrence at that point in pregnancy). There should be no concern about sequelae (consequences for a future pregnancy).
