Sentences
Hi, everyone

If I want to ask a woman (who I am quite close to) if she had cramps during pregnancy.... or if she is answering me that, could I use these sentences? Or do they sound odd?k

"Did you use to feel many cramps during pregnancy?"

"I used to die of pain from cramps during pregnancy."

Do they sound odd with "used to"?

Thank you

Answer

"Did you feel many cramps during pregnancy?"
"I died of pain from cramps during pregnancy"
Sounds much more natural to me...(speaking of cramps during a previous pregnancy implies that the pregnancy related cramps are no longer being experienced...no need to say "used to")

Answer

It does not sound odd.  The expressions could be spoken in such a way.
