I just went into the kitchen, and noticed that Diva had thrown up two huge piles of vomit. One of them looked a little like it might be a hairball, but the other was just food.
She hasn't thrown up once since I brought her in a few weeks ago, and has been on the same food the whole time. She looks HUGE and i think she only has a few weeks to go.
Do pregnant cats experience nausea and vomit occasionally, or could she be sick?

It is not uncommon for cats to go through morning sickness just as humans do. It happens more often during weeks three to four, but it can happen later, too. Every cat is different.

Keep an eye on her--she might be eating too much too quickly for her bloated stomach to handle. If it happens several times within a couple of hours or a day, I might suggest taking her to your vet, because there could be another problem.

As long as she's acting like her normal self with no lethargy or any other signs of illness, she's probably fine. Pregnancies can be rough sometimes!

She's acting perfectly normal, besides the fact that she got really upset and thought she was in trouble. I had to sit there and pet her for a few minutes until she calmed down.
I'll just keep an eye on her then. I have no idea when she might be due, I just know she's getting HUGE, and I'm guessing another two weeks. Could be much sooner though. I'm so excited!

Yep, she's probably just having morning sickness. =) Can you see or feel any movement yet?

No, but I don't really handle her stomach because it seems to make her uncomfortable. She's just getting used to her paws being touched.

When she gets closer to her due date, she'll start showing movement in her abdomen so you can see it. At least, with Trina it was VERY obvious! Two weeks is probably a good estimate!
