Valerie:
Congrats on your pregnancy!!! I had cramps when I was pregnant with my son
too. My OB said it was mainly caused by all the muscles and ligaments
stretching. I know it's hard, but try not to stress! :) Thank you too for
FINALLY identifying the taste of the burp from the prenatals...the closest
I'd gotten to describing it before was a Cheerio taste! LOL Have you tried
StuartNatals? After I complained to my doc about the yukky burps, she
prescribed them instead and they were alot better. Again, congratulations
and good luck!
Tracy
