It was for me. Was most irritated that felt hungover when had had to give up wine. It did get much better tho a bit later on,can't quite remember when,sorry. Probably by second trimester the truly hungover feeling had gone,so not long to go. It is rubbish,tho

Hi I am 13 weeks and felt really rough at 10 weeks. Exhausted, miserable, sick. It does feel as if it is easing though sickness is back after a 2 week respite. hang in there.

Yes weeks 6-16 I felt much as you describe, then pretty great until 39wks where I am now again tired and achey

Yep, the best explanation of bad morning sickness I have found to give to people who've never experienced it is that it's like your worst ever hangover, times 100 and lasting 24/7. Agree with Justdomylippy, it's a particularly cruel irony of pregnancy!

This is probably stating the obvious but the reason it feels similar to a hangover is that sickness, like alcohol, causes dehydration - so sipping water will help with the headachey feeling.
