Some basics: Reproduction is designed to prefer baby over you. As part of that process the developing fetus is selectively given what they need even it it draws away from you.The amniotic fluid is partly derived from pee the baby makes. As long as all the parts are connected they will make it in adequate amounts, whether you are on the dry side or not. You worry about staying healthy for you, baby will be fine
