Child with vomiting bug

I have 6 weeks to go in my pregnancy and dd 6 was just up vomiting. Dh cleaned it up but I can still smell it and he is gone for the day today. What are the chances of me and other children getting the bug?

Make sure use dettol spray on door handles, toilets, light switches carefully etc. I’ve been a nanny for 24 years and last my bosses need is for me to get it too. I rarely get them because of this. Just wash your hands lots and limit cuddles ( really hard and makes you feel awful)
If it’s airborne then, you will probably get it anyway, but if not doing all of that normally works.

hand washing handwashing handwashing.
Anything she puked on gets washed at 60 or disinfected another way.

Have you probably had norovirus before? It's thought that We tend to keep immunity against norovirus for up to 6 yrs but depends if it's the same strain or might not even be noro. But your immune system is down due to pregnancy. Concentrate on what you can do, rather than worry about things you can't control.
