Brief Answer:
It can be a normal variation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A loss of water due to diarrhea can decrease the amniotic fluid also but that will be associated with a decrease in the baby movements. An increase in baby movements usually indicate the well being of the baby and is not worrisome. This can be a normal variation. Do take care of your diet and have a protein rich healthy food with plenty of fluids orally. The baby movements will gradually normalize on its own.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks for writing again.
There is no such demarcation that can determine the sex of the baby for sure. These are mere beliefs with no scientific evidence.
Hope my answer is helpful.
