I don't get them as bad as I used too. I noticed that if I ate chocolate or foods with alot of salt (both I craved right before I started) my cramps would be horrible. So now about a couple of days prior, I don't eat anything with chocolate, and I cut back drastically on my salt intake. It's been working so far the last 10 years or so.

that might work.. I don't know how big she is but try a book..if she needs more weight, try a dog(if you have one) or she can rub her lower belly, it will stimulate her uterus..does wonders! Good luck.
