Yes the occasional vomiting is normal towards the end of pregnancy. The puppies are growing a lot and tend to press on the stomach which activates pressure receptors and this makes the dog vomit. If your dog is lethargic, however, or otherwise appears ill, you will need to take her to your veterinarian for an exam as she may have an infection or other gastro-intestinal problem.
