Oh “morning” sickness,
You are a laugh.
The hormones whizzing around
Making me barf.
But let’s be honest,
You need a new name
Because I feel pretty rubbish
Most of the day.
If you were a business,
You would have rebranded by now;
Misinforming the public?
The ASA would not allow.
So, what best describes
The way you make us feel?
The headaches, the nausea,
As if we’ve been spinning on a wheel.
I’ve got an idea
I’ve felt like this previously
The days spent hugging
The toilet bowl grievously.
So I shall call you:
“The Pregnancy Hangover”
It accurately describes
The symptoms, moreover.
You can be cured briefly
By a can of fizz,
Or a bacon sandwich
With ketchup, that is.
You are best dealt with
Getting fresh air,
And puking in a bin?
I don’t really care.
But truth be told,
I feel rough all day,
And you’ll disappear soon,
In your own special way.
Until that happens,
Let’s change your title,
Let’s stop lying,
I think that it’s vital.
“Pregnancy Hangover”
Hence forth you shall be known,
Tell all women the truth,
And let us not deal with you alone.
Oh this made me laugh - I suffered so much more this time round and it was constant. Morning sickness my arse!
Pregnancy Hangover!! Brilliant!
I hope the sickness passes soon x
This is genius!! You’re totally right morning sickness is a rubbish name for what it really is!!!
Hehe, excellent! very funny.
I hope your ‘pregnancy hangover’ passes soon!
Pregnancy hangover is definitely more accurate. Hope your over it soon my lovely! X

Haha love this! Too true. The sickness was so bad for me last time that I was on medication just to get out of bed 🙁 I don’t envy you that part of pregnancy one bit! Hope you feel better soon x

I can’t find your ‘like’ button on the post, so you get a comment instead - bravo! God I hated my Pregnancy Hangover. It hit without fail every day 10am - 3pm, 6pm on a bad day. Crisps was the only thing that helped! (No, it wasn’t an excuse to just eat crisps.)
Amen! Incredibly accurate, love this!
