Hi Christine,
I am not a medical doctor so I would urge you to consult your personal physician. I don't think this is good for your body and doesn't sound normal to me. I would be a little worried and please get a checkup or at least call your doctor. Let me know what happens by emailing me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
Congratulations on your little girl! Would love to know more.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
