The only problems that I know of with blood groups and pregnancy is when a
mother is Rh negative and the fetus is Rh positive and the mother's blood can
react against the baby's blood if there is a SECOND Rh positive baby.  But
there are treatments now to prevent these problems.  If the father is also
Rh negative the baby will not be Rh positive.  

Blood group O means that your friend should receive blood transfusions from
someone else with blood group O, if needed.  I don't think this is related
to blood pressure in any way.
