Dehydration can cause deformities????

Dehydration in early pregnancy or first trimester, can lead to an insufficient amount of amniotic fluid. This can lead to the baby laying directly against the uterus and can cause limb deformities.

I just read this... is it true?????
I was hospitalized over 7 times for severe dehaydration because of the awful mornig sickness. Now Im extremely worried about my baby!! :0
