Here's some info I found on Noro and Pregnancy:
http://www.healthline.com/blogs/pregnancy_childbirth/2007/03/norovirus-infections-and-pregnancy.html
If you are pregnant and develop symptoms related to viral gastroenteritis, you should let your provider know. If you have a low-grade fever and if you are able to ‘keep up with your fluids’ during the acute phase of the illness, it is unlikely that you will develop serious complications related to the pregnancy. If you cannot keep up with the fluids, develop a high fever, begin having contractions or other symptoms of a more serious problem, let your provider know about these immediately. If you have a sick child at home with a Norovirus infection, wash your hands frequently, but don’t be surprised if you join them in their misery despite your best efforts.
And..from the CDC:
Noroviruses and Pregnancy

Vomiting and diarrhea related to norovirus are particular concerns for pregnant women, who can become dehydrated easily. To help prevent dehydration, pregnant women should drink an oral rehydration solution (such as Pedialyte® or Gastrolyte® ), juices, or water in small, frequent amounts. Health care providers might want to consider the early use of intravenous fluids in pregnant women. Because illness is usually of short duration, symptomatic medicines such as Immodium® or Pepto-Bismol® are not recommended. In addition, effects of their use in pregnant women have not been thoroughly studied.
There's no risk to the baby, it's well protected from nasty germs and viruses. The biggest problem is dehydration for the mother.
