Hydration is key: You probably did no harm to your infant, but this is good advice for every pregnant woman. Carry water with you when you go anywhere and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate as your circulating volume (blood and fluids) is made up of a lot of water and dehydration CAN have consequences for your fetus.
