Watermelon woes: The rotten watermelon might upset your digestive system a bit, maybe some diarrhea but it will not affect the fetus. :)

Baby will be fine: It shouldn't harm the baby. In general, our bodies are very good at protecting the growing baby. Make sure you are taking your prenatal vitamins, drink plenty of water, and as long as you're feeling alright and baby is moving, no worries!
