Brief Answer:
Normal during early pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Normally, nausea subsides at the end of the first trimester.
Sometimes, in some women as the uterus grows and enlarges in size, it puts pressure on the stomach and other organs, leading to acidity and nausea again.
SO, it is normal for some pregnant women to experience this.

Simple remedies will help her -
1. Eat home made, fresh, bland food especially early morning. Avoid spicy, oily , greasy, fried or stale food. Avoid eating outside.
2. Instead of 2 big meals, have 5 - 6 spaced out meals.
3. Take lots of water, buttermilk, coconut water, nimbu pani etc,
4. She can take Sinate - OD tablet, this is needed just once a day, early in the morning, it will help the nausea.
5. She can take Pantop - D tablet twice a day to combat the acidity.
6. Before sleeping, take a glass of chilled milk at night.
7. Sleep with pillows propping up your head at night.
8. After any meal, avoid lying down or sleeping for atleast 2 hours.
9. Avoid stress or worrying, as it compounds the acidity.
10. She can add simple items like lemon,cinnamom, ketchup to the food instead of chillies and spices to alter the taste and improve the nausea.
11. Substitute fluids like soups and juices if you cannot eat much solid food.
