Q: The danger of protracted burping during pregnancy

asked by: DoctorQuestion on July 31st, 2008

I woke up this morning at 4 A.M. experiencing joint pains and burping..
i've been burping for the past 16 hours and i am very weak.. I feel weak..
It's my 4th time to be pregnant, and this is the first time that I am experiencing such burping on and off for 16 hours..
Is this a danger sign?

It doesn’t seem likely to me that burping during the pregnancy is a sign of danger.
