Morning sickness WORSE at/after 12 weeks?

Question

I recently just passed my 12th week of pregnancy on Wednesday, and but I've vomited at least once a day, every day this past week starting on either Monday or Tuesday (today is Saturday).

Nausea was present before 12 weeks, but it wasn't really bad, and I almost never threw up. Before this past week, I vomited maybe once or twice a week because I was actually careful to not eat anything that upset my stomach, but now I vomit at least once or twice a day.
I now can't eat a lot per meal because most of the time, it simply makes me feel sick, so I've been snacking all day. Snacking all day is ok, but not all foods agree with my stomach later on. I can't even eat saltines because they upset my stomach simply because they're not heavy enough to provide any real substance. 
The only thing that seems to make me feel better is steak or beef jerky, but I'm afraid that too much of that might cause problems with the development of the baby.

Is this normal to have escalating morning sickness after 12 weeks? Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, it's normal.   Unless it's so bad that there's dehydration, there's usually no need to see a doctor about it.   It's not a medical emergency or indicative of a problem.   I didn't get morning sickness at all with my last until 10 weeks, and it was worst from 14-20 weeks, then returned again full force at the end.

Yes, some women have it the whole pregnancy. 
I was 18 weeks before it backed off.

See your doctor. If it's daily and worsening, you need medical attention.
