It shouldn't effect your baby. As long as you stay rather hydrated you and your baby will be completely fine. Just try to replenish the liquids that you are losing. If you do get dehydrated it could send you into labor early. Many times this can be fixed at home with drinking more fluids. However, if contractions start and they can't be stopped with taking extra fluids then you need to call your OB ASAP.
When I was about 30 weeks pregnant with my second child I had some food poisoning. It sent me into early labor. I was contracting every 12 minutes or so for a few hours. I called my OB and she told me to drink more water. After drinking a few glasses the contractions slowed down and then stopped rather quickly.

STILL gaining a ton of weight 34 weeks?
Q. My doctor told me to gain between 30-35 pounds for this pregnancy and at 34 weeks I have already gained 32 pounds. I am so frustrated. During the first trimester, I only gained 2 pounds, but after the second I had gained 26 but I actually looked better than I did before pregnancy aside from a humongous belly. During the third, I have eaten fast food only once, eaten healthier than I ever have in my life, exercised more than I have all pregnancy and haven't even been having ice cream or any other bad junk food like I did in the rest of my pregnancy but I'm starting to look fat instead of just a huge pregnant belly. My doctor told me that I'm doing everything I can to stay healthy and I look great but I'm so discouraged by this weight gain (6 pounds in just 4 weeks!). I am so tired of gaining weight because I feel so fat, but what else can I do if I'm already eating super healthy and exercising? I have more energy in this trimester than I've ever had and only crave vegetables or fruits. Has anyone else had this problem? I can't wait to start losing weight after the baby but every pound I gain is just making me more upset.
Answer
At the end of your first trimester, the baby is about 8 - 9 cm long. During this trimester your baby grows from a tiny pinprick-sized bunch of cells to about the size of a salad shrimp, and it weighs hardly nothing at all. Most of the pregnancy weight you gain during the first trimester is the added blood volume in your system to feed the baby, the placenta, and the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby.
At the end of your second trimester, the baby is about 14-inches long and weighs about 1.5 pounds. Wonderful things like fingers, toes, and the nails for both are added to your little one. They grow hair, and eyelashes, and begin to look more like a person.
By the time baby is born, you have a full-term baby that weighs about 7 to 8 pounds and is about 20-inches long. During the last trimester, the baby gains all the weight he/she will need to survive outside the womb. The bulk of your weight-gain during pregnancy will happen in these last few weeks, and most mothers get nervous about the amount of weight they're gaining to support their baby.
Most women can expect to lose around 10 - 15 pounds immediately following the birth of their baby!! Keep in mind that the baby is 7 or 8 pounds of that weight; the placenta weighs another pound or two, the uterus itself can weigh up to 2 pounds at the of delivery, and another couple of pounds for the amniotic fluid. On top of that you have gained about 7 pounds of "fat stores" to help feed the baby, another 4 pounds of blood volume, about 2 pounds worth of maternal tissue, plus another couple of pounds of fluid in the maternal tissues.
So roughly, that's 27 pounds worth of "extras" that you're packing around. Like I said, about 10 or 15 of that will come off immediately when the baby is born. In the following 6 to 12 months, most of the rest of the weight will come off naturally -- provided that you're eating healthy (not for 2 anymore!!) and that you're getting some exercise.
Congratulations, and enjoy your little one! :)
