Jason, this is entirely dependent on how large the footnotes are. If
the footnotes are substantially large (many lines long), this could
dramatically impact your document's page breaks. 

Also, make sure that you don't further restrict the document's flow by
using Keep with Next or Keep Lines Together formatting in the
Format/Paragraph dialog. This type of formatting is indicated by
little black squares along the left edge of the text (when you have
the paragraph marks turned on).
