Hi ryangaffney,

It would be wise to have her contact her doctor. While some discomfort can be normal, severe pain is not. Also, while nausea and vomiting can be normal in pregnancy, when it is severe to where she can not keep anything down, she should be seen.

Does she have a fever as well by chance? Have her call her doctor's office. They will have an after hours number that she can call if need be.
