My Dr had me go to the ER after 12 hours of not being able to hold anything down. Being dehydrated isn't good however if you are still peeing that's a good sign you aren't too bad yet. Again give your belly a little time to rest, if its upset and you try to take fluids (even small amounts) it'll just come up. After resting and a couple hours of no vomiting try just the small amounts. If you still aren't able to keep that down  and youre near that 12 hr mark I'd go so they can give you IV fluids and possibly something for the vomiting too

Well it hurt the baby at all that I'm not able to hold anything down? That's what I'm really worried about

If you have a stomach bug you shouldn't eat or drink anything at all for 2 hours. You have to give tour belly time to rest. Hydration is important but if you keep trying to drink and then vomit you are just going to dehydrate quicker. After the two hours if you haven't vomited try drinking small sips (like the size of a shot glass or medicine cup)  once every 15-20 minutes.
